无法在 adb shell 上列出文件

Question

i'm trying to access my database file from adb shell, but sqlite3 cant open it, i think this is because i dont have root, searching on the web i found that to get root acess you need to:

adb root ->adbd is restarted as root(dont really know what is this)
adb connect <device>
adb -s <device> shell

this commands work fine here, but i still cant get root access and still cant acess my database file

The error i'm getting is:

Error: unable to open database "ClientsInfoDB.db": unable to open database      file 1

on my app code to create the database i use:

    public DatabaseHelper(Context context){
    super(context, "ClientsInfoDB", null, 2);

can anyone help me here? thanks for attention

EDITED --- Important informations that was missing(sorry for that :s): i'm using Blluestacks to run my app

To access the app directory i did(on the shell):

cd data/data/<my_package_name>/databases
ls --> wont work
sqlite3 ClientsInfoDB
.databases --> message error that i posted above

If you're using a standard version of Android (ie not AOSP) you won't be able to get root by default. The steps for rooting the phone vary based on manufacturer and version and sometimes you can find instructions online. That said, it's not something that is officially supported and may damage your phone.

That said, without doing that, you can't access your application's database without root because the data directory for your application is restricted to your application only. If you need to access it, try having your application store the database somewhere like the /sdcard or equivalent directory which is generally accessible. The downside to this is that any application can access it, so be careful what you put there in production.
