What happens to a Sqlite database when app is removed

Question

I\'m new to Android programming and trying to wrap my head around this just to make myself clear about how things work.

When creating Sqlite databases in an Android

Answer 1

Normally, the database would be stored in

/data/data/package.name.of.your.app/databases

However it's not a good thing to rely on this. It's much better to find it using getDatabasePath on ContextWrapper, such as:

File dbFile = getDatabasePath(db_name);

And, yes, normally the whole directory /data/data/package.name.of.your.app would be deleted if you uninstall the app.
