After some xperimentation, I found using: $ adb shell cat /data/data/App.AppName/files/appname.db
to copy the file to the PC results in a slightly larger file that cannot be opened by the PC's sqlite database (RazorSQL), while the file received using: adb pull /data/data/App.AppName/files/appname.db can be. So, I don't think the StreamWriter method will work as it looks like I can only use the ADB pull/push commands. I guess the 2nd (LinuxUtils.Syscall.chmod ...) method is the only one which will work? Although I'm not sure how setting the file's permission will allow access to it using ADB pull/push if the device is denying permission to the app's folder itself?
