How to access app private data on Android (no root)

Often companies developing ParentalControl or DLP solutions require access to private data from software, installed on Android devices. For example, messages from Skype/KIK/Viber, etc., or even an access to a browsing history are both good examples of such tasks. By default (and this is what is used most often due to security) all Android apps save data in a so-called

Sandbox – a storage area which other applications cannot access. And if an app doesn’t provide an API to get the data (or simply places the data in memory card where other applications can access it), then this data seemingly cannot be accessed. In this article, I want to show one simple and fairly elegant way to access private data of third party applications.
