title: How do I open a sqflite database file in DB Browser for SQLite?
body: <p>I have a Flutter/Dart application that I am coding using Android Studio. I use a database called envirodatabase.db with the <code>sqflite</code> package. I want to open the database in <a href="https://sqlitebrowser.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DB Browser for SQLite</a> on my computer, but the only way it lets me do that is through saving a copy of the file, not the file itself. </p>
  
  <p>How do I open the original file in DB Browser for SQLite?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my Device File Explorer</p>

  <p><strong>What I tried doing was</strong> I right clicked > Save As in the Device File Explorer where my app's database was. I saved it to my desktop and opened it, but the changes don't update the original file. </p>
