Android Question SQL Database Storage Location

[woodpecker]

My program uses an sql database created with:-

SQL1.Initialize(File.DirInternal,"test1.db",True)

I presume this creates it using internal storage. I want to be able to edit the database on a PC and copy it back to the phone to use in my program, where will I find it on the phone?

With File.DirInternal you won't find it, it is a folder reserved for your application and not accessible from other applications !
You may have a look at THIS.

Hello,
Is this what you are looking for? https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-use-the-android-oreo-built-in-file-manager/
Erel´s "External Storage" Class example also shows internal storage once you selected "show internal storage" in the oreo file manager.
Greetings,

You can use RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal to store it on the secondary storage. Make sure to read the runtime permissions tutorial.
