Database Info

[Q] Get a list of database names in code from android app?

Hello,
I would like to get a list of database names in code. I'm not looking for databases outside my application/package, just those in my /data/data/<my_package>/database folder.
I can easily locate them on the file system and open them using adb and sqlite3,
but I need to dynamically get a list of databases so that I can open and manage them in code.
I currently use a separate database to keep track of database names as they get created/deleted through my application, but I imagine there is a way to get a list of databases directly via SQL query or some sqlite library call.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,

This should be in the "Android Development" forum.
BTW, I tried to post this question in a more topical "Android Development" forum, but I'm an XDA newb and don't have permissions to post in there.

Maybe these links can help you? I don't do much droid programming anymore and I never worked with databases in droid. Also welcome to XDA

solution
The solution turned out to be very simple.
The main application context has a databaseList() function that, conveniently, returns a list of database names associated with the application.
String[] dbList = getApplicationContext().databaseList();
Thanks for the links dbzfanatic. devx looks like a good resource... it's going on my bookmark bar for sure.

Glad I could help and thanks for posting the solution for others who might have the same question. Since it's a string array I'm guessing the function just returns the DB names and not handles to them?

Correct, just a list of the database names.
I need a few more posts before I'm permitted to post a link, but this is the approximate reference link:

[Q] App with root privileges and monitoring of applications

Hey guys,
firstly I've read the rules and I believe here is the right place to ask that, but if not, please correct me as I'm a new user of the forum.
Well, I'm doing a research related with privacy in Android. I need build an application that can monitoring when another application
send sms in background for example. So I'm trying analyse the possibilities to do that using a application with root privileges or if in
last case, take a ROM and modify it.
My question is: what a rooted application can if fact do? For example, can I have access to the process in executions and know
what they are doing?
And another thing is, I'm starting search about the using of critical data for applications, like location data. As I'm starting, someone can
please guide do in how to know when a application require this kind of critical data? In the level of what should I search for or some link
related with that?
Thank you for now
Pablo

[Completed] [Q] Android App transfer of ownership

In regards to app transfer process, has anyone experienced difficulties after a transfer of ownership was done?
We are developing an app for a client, who have an existing app being hosted and managed by a 3rd party vendor. We need to understand the process of helping the client get ownership of the current app and then with the same name of the app, push our (new) binaries as an update to the app. The key thing is that there should not be any disruption to the current service and the transition to the new app is transparent to the users – All reviews, ratings etc. remain the same.
- What are the key information transfers that must happen during transfer of ownership of an app (Keys, version no. etc.)?
- If new update to an app is completely different in architecture, is there an approval process from Google Play to go through? If yes, how long does this usually take?
So to summarize, ‘V’ is the third party vendor hosting the app named ‘X’ for our client ‘C’. We (Dev company ‘D’) want to replace the current app with our implementation, but retaining the existing app name, customer base, reviews, ratings etc. such that existing users just get a notification to upgrade their existing app and it changes to the new app once they download.
Thanks!

Hi,
I can find nothing relevant on XDA about this. I suggest you contact Google...
But you could ask your question here if you wish,

Good luck!

Thank you. Thread closed.

Looking for a Dev to create my project

Hello,
I am looking for a Developer who can create an Android App/Service/Whatever for me to do the following task.
Since I have no expertise in Android Development I am very thankful for any help an will surely send some $ as compensation for the result.
TASK:
The App/Service/Whatever should be able to open up a webpage, perform a click on that page on a button (follow all redirections, parse and use javascript, use cookies) just act like a normal Browser, but completely invisible.
I dont want to see any Icon or UI Interaction. Maybe its possible to realize that only on Shell (Terminal) Level.
The Final Webpage's HTML-Code should be saved in a file on the FileSystem (/data/Whatever/page.html).
The App is only for me, my device is rooted and Running Android 4.4.1 .
I hope that someone can help me.
