[android-developers] Re: IllegalStateException: database not open

Just got a chance to resume this issue. How to search the device for
the database file? Apparently something really strange is going on or
I am doing something wrong. Shouldn't databases be private by default?
I haven't done anything special to make them public. databases aren't
on the memory card. Any other idea what could have gone wrong and how
to go about haunting db files on the device to remove (if they exist
on the device)? Also note, I have always uninstalled these apps from
the device's "Applications -->Manage Applications-->" option. Is this
ininstall different than adb uninstall? adb uninstall keeps giving me
"Failure" message.

Thanks,
