@greenrobot It's possible to present db data on localhost server? (such as in Android Objectbox browser)

The data browser is currently only shipped in the native library that is bundled with objectbox-android-databrowser. So no, this currently will not work for desktop apps.

edit: keeping this open for others to 👍 if they want this feature. -ut

@greenrobot-team #659 When can I open it on PC?Or a solution? I need to check whether the online app data is consistent with the background data.It is ok for me to use GreenDao before, because its file is db. I hope there are relevant methods to open MDB file on PC.

@njzy63lys A workaround: create a dummy ObjectBox app and run it on an emulator on your PC. Then copy the existing database file to it. https://docs.objectbox.io/faq#can-i-ship-my-app-with-a-pre-built-database

Now you can inspect the database using the Android data browser. https://docs.objectbox.io/data-browser

I'm implementing Objectbox but I hope you'll provide a desktop tool to browse database.

I explain it. It's an in-house app. The users are in many distant places. Some times we need to check the database, so they send us the database file.

A solution creating a dummy ObjectBox app I think it's the only for now, but it needs more steps than just open the file and browse it through a desktop program.

I know there are another tasks with more priority, but I hope some day there are a tool soon. By the way, I hope objectbrowser will support entities relations soon.

We just released a Docker-based solution for that: https://docs.objectbox.io/data-browser#run-via-docker

Please let us know if it works for you. Blog post will follow very soon.
