Movies Database

Viewing the Database

You can use the App Inspector in Android Studio to view the database on the emulator or physical device.

Run your application
Open App Inspection
via the "..." on the left edge of Android Studio, or
via View -> Tool Windows -> App Inspection from the hamburger menu at the top-left of Android Studio
You may need to wait a moment for the running devices dropdown to appear
Click on the running devices dropdown
Choose the emulator or physical device that's running your application
Choose the application that matches the app id in your app/build.gradle.kts
Click on the Database Inspector tab
You can then double-click table names to see data or run SQL queries

We'll stop here for now and flesh this example out more over time. We'll fill in all of the details for displaying Movies, Actors and Ratings in a later module, after we've discussed lists.
