Accessing files in the Android.Specialfolder.Personal folder of an emulated device

Question

I'm creaing a log file in the Specialfolder.Personal folder.

I found a similiar question about this here: SpecialFolder.Personal location

The difference to this linked question is that I'm not using a real device, but instead I only work with the Xamarin Android Player to create emulators.

Can I somehow access files in the Specialfolder.Personal folder of my emulator?

You can access the _Xamarin Android Player_ through the `adb` as it is mentioned in the linked SO post — Prashant Cholachagudda, Jan 03 '17 at 09:18
You were on the right track yourself. Simply use `adb` as mentioned in the post you linked to yourself. — Demitrian, Jan 03 '17 at 09:26

You can use the Android Device Monitor to browse emulator file systems. Visual Studio has a convenient method of quickly opening this from the toolbar:

Select your emulator and browse for the files
