How to open a Flutter .hive file from Hive in Android Studio

Question

Can someone please explain how to open the .hive files generated by Flutter Hive when you create a Box and add to it?

Within my application, the files are stored as name.hive files.

I have tried opening them as JSON/XML/plain text but nothing seems to work, the contents are showing incorrectly

I am using Android Studio on Ubuntu

Just want to know how I can open the file and view the contents properly?

Answer 1

The easier way would be to copy .hive file to your computer and drag it into Hive Studio window.

I wrote an app and a tutorial using Hive DB, where I describe this.
