whats the recommended way of debugging sqlite db? I'm using anko sqlite...

What do you mean “debugging”? If you just want to check database data, you can use for example Stetho - http://facebook.github.io/stetho/

what do you think about Android Debug Database? https://github.com/amitshekhariitbhu/Android-Debug-Database

I use this link (https://github.com/amitshekhariitbhu/Android-Debug-Database ) and I am very happy with it, gives the option to graphically view in a browser, make queries, add content, delete it, make backups, ...and more.
