InvalidFileFormat #476
Description
Some times, for a db pulled out of an Android app, it shows this error, while the file can be opened using other sqlite editors on the device (eg. SQLite Editor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.SQLEditor&hl=en) )

I cannot open your database file using the SQLite command line tool either. So I think it's the file which causes the problems, not the SQLite editor.
I've done a bit of searching and it looks like this is a common problem for Android users: copying the database file to your computer may give you an incomplete file which then can't be opened: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9058169/sqlite-database-disk-image-is-malformed-on-windows-but-fine-on-android
This would explain why the file can be opened with an editor in the device - you don't need to copy it then.
If you want to do some more research, you can try searching for e.g. 'android "Error: database disk image is malformed"'.
