## Android Debug Database is a powerful library for debugging databases and shared preferences in Android applications.
### Android Debug Database allows you to view databases and shared preferences directly in your browser in a very simple way.
### What can Android Debug Database do?
* See all the databases.
* See all the data in the shared preferences used in your application.
* Run any sql query on the given database to update and delete your data.
* Directly edit the database values.
* Directly edit the shared preferences.
* Directly add a row in the database.
* Directly add a key-value in the shared preferences.
* Delete database rows and shared preferences.
* Search in your data.
* Sort data.
* Download database.
### All these features work without rooting your device -> No need of rooted device

### Using Android Debug Database Library in your application
Add this to your app's build.gradle
```groovy
debugCompile 'com.amitshekhar.android:debug-db:1.0.1'
```
Use `debugCompile` so that it will only compile in your debug build and not in your release build.
That’s all, just start the application, you will see in the logcat an entry like follows :
* D/DebugDB: Open http://XXX.XXX.X.XXX:8080 in your browser
* You can also always get the debug address url from your code by calling the method `DebugDB.getAddressLog();`
Now open the provided link in your browser.
Important:
- Your Android phone and laptop should be connected to the same Network (Wifi or LAN).
- If you are using it over usb, run `adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080`
Note : If you want use different port other than 8080.
In the app build.gradle file under buildTypes do the following change
```groovy
debug {
resValue("string", "PORT_NUMBER", "8081")
}
```
You will see something like this :
### Seeing values
### Editing values
### Working with emulator
- Android Default Emulator: Run the command in the terminal - `adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080` and open http://localhost:8080
- Genymotion Emulator: Enable bridge from configure virtual device (option available in genymotion)
### Getting address with toast, in case you missed the address log in logcat
As this library is auto-initialize, if you want to get the address log, add the following method and call (we have to do like this to avoid build error in release build as this library will not be included in the release build)
```java
public static void showDebugDBAddressLogToast(Context context) {
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
try {
Class debugDB = Class.forName("com.amitshekhar.DebugDB");
Method getAddressLog = debugDB.getMethod("getAddressLog");
Object value = getAddressLog.invoke(null);
Toast.makeText(context, (String) value, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (Exception ignore) {
}
}
}
```
### Adding custom database files
As this library is auto-initialize, if you want to add custom database files, add the following method and call
```java
public static void setCustomDatabaseFiles(Context context) {
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
try {
Class debugDB = Class.forName("com.amitshekhar.DebugDB");
Class[] argTypes = new Class[]{HashMap.class};
Method setCustomDatabaseFiles = debugDB.getMethod("setCustomDatabaseFiles", argTypes);
HashMap customDatabaseFiles = new HashMap<>();
// set your custom database files
customDatabaseFiles.put(ExtTestDBHelper.DATABASE_NAME,
new File(context.getFilesDir() + "/" + ExtTestDBHelper.DIR_NAME +
"/" + ExtTestDBHelper.DATABASE_NAME));
setCustomDatabaseFiles.invoke(null, customDatabaseFiles);
} catch (Exception ignore) {
}
}
}
```
