Find Realm file location

Print file location - Swift

Add the following line to ViewDidLoad method:

print(Realm.Configuration.defaultConfiguration.fileURL!)

The line above will print the location to Xcode’s console. Copy the file path, go to Finder → Go → Go to Folder… (or ⌘+⇧+G)→ paste the path and hit Go.

Print file location - Objective-C

Log the realm file location using:

NSLog(@"%@",[RLMRealmConfiguration defaultConfiguration].fileURL);

The line above will print the location to Xcode’s console. Copy the file path, go to Finder → Go → Go to Folder… (or ⌘+⇧+G)→ paste the path and hit Go.

Print file location - Xamarin

First you need to implement Realm at the start of your class

using Realms;

Then to print the location to the console :

Console.WriteLine( RealmConfiguration.PathToRealm() );

Or if you’re using DefaultConfiguration, you can use :

Console.WriteLine( RealmConfiguration.DefaultConfiguration.DatabasePath );

How to reach the file :

If you’re running on IOS simulator :

You can copy the file path, go to Finder → Go → Go to Folder… (or ⌘+⇧+G)→ paste the path and hit Go.

But if you’re running on Android emulator :

Open Android device Monitor (on visual studio → tools menu → Android → Android device Monitor ) (on Xamarin studio → Tools menu → Open Android device Monitor ) → File Explorer tab → follow the file path

Android

Copy the database from the emulator/phone to view it. It can be done by using ADB:

adb pull /data/data/<packagename>/files/

That command will pull all Realm files created by Realm.getInstance(getContext()) or Realm.getInstance(new RealmConfiguration.Builder(context).build()). The default database file is called default.realm.

Note that this will only work on a emulator or rooted device.
