How to view file manually created by android java program

Question

I have created a file using

` try {
            File myFile = new File("myfile");
            if (myFile.exists())
                myFile.delete();
            outputStream = openFileOutput("myfile", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
            Log.d("MyServiceActivity", "file written");
            outputStream.write(User.getInstance().getUserId().getBytes());
            outputStream.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
`

How do i view the file created manually. Thanks in advance

Since the file is saved with Context.MODE_PRIVATE it is into internal memory, if you dont have root you will be not able to see this file with your phone

The best aproach to view your file is to open device monitor or Android monitor that is place in your Android Studio IDE

Note: run your app in debug mode to be able to see internal memory directories and files !

Be sure to have your device pluged to your pc to run it

Happy coding

I did as you said. But I couldn't find the file in the File Explorer. – John Mar 12 '18 at 03:45
is under the folder data, and without root, is the only way to see the file you are creating – Gastón Saillén Mar 12 '18 at 04:06
you will need to go to the data folder and after that you will need to enter into your package name, for example com.example.yourproject, and after that the files will be there – Gastón Saillén Mar 12 '18 at 04:09
