When you want to reset you Android application during a test or debug phase on the emulator you can delete the "Shared preferences" and the database that your application has created.

To do that you can launch the Android shell typing "adb shell". From there you can navigate throught the following path:

cd data
cd data

In this directory you will find the folder having the name of your application (which include the package as well). Enter in that folder and delete the *.db files then enter in "shared_prefs" and delete then xml file.
