Export Android SqliteDb to CSV format

You need to do these step...

1. add this jar file opencsv-1.7.jar http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/o/Downloadopencsv17jar.htm

2. And then use this code

       
public class ExportDatabaseToCSV{
    
    Context context;
    public ExportDatabaseToCSV(Context context) {
        this.context=context;
    }
    
    
    public void exportDataBaseIntoCSV(){
        
      
       CredentialDb db = new CredentialDb(context);//here CredentialDb is my database. you can create your db object.
       File exportDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "");        
          
       if (!exportDir.exists()) 
          {
              exportDir.mkdirs();
          }

      File file = new File(exportDir, "csvfilename.csv");
      
      try 
      {
          file.createNewFile();                
          CSVWriter csvWrite = new CSVWriter(new FileWriter(file));
          SQLiteDatabase sql_db = db.getReadableDatabase();//here create a method ,and return SQLiteDatabaseObject.getReadableDatabase();
          Cursor curCSV = sql_db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM "+CredentialDb.TABLE_NAME,null);
          csvWrite.writeNext(curCSV.getColumnNames());
         
          while(curCSV.moveToNext())
              {
                 //Which column you want to export you can add over here...
                  String arrStr[] ={curCSV.getString(0),curCSV.getString(1), curCSV.getString(2)};
                  csvWrite.writeNext(arrStr);
              }

          csvWrite.close();
          curCSV.close();
      }
      catch(Exception sqlEx)
      {
          Log.e("Error:", sqlEx.getMessage(), sqlEx);
      }
    }   
}
