If you are on Windows follow these instructions step by step:

1. Launch your app in android emulator.
2. Then open command prompt as an administrator and navigate to the sdk path for example cd C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools
3. Type adb root
4. Then type adb pull /data/data/ name-of-your-package /databases/name-of-your-database
5. You'll find your database located in the folder called platform-tools.

Then you can install Sqlite Manager extension in Google Chrome via chrome webstore and use it to view and manage your exported database.

In case you have a rooted phone you can follow the same instructions as above.
