I have workprofile app installed, and the location of the data can be access programmatically using getExternalFilesDir("logs") which, results in storage location as /storage/emulated/11/Android/data/com.example.workprofile/files/logs.

I would like to know how to push data to logs folder and pull using adb.

Let's assume you want to copy the file called data.log. The following commands will push the file into a temporary folder 

adb shell push data.log /data/local/tmp

and then you can copy it into your app's private area:

adb shell run-as com.example.workprofile cp /data/local/tmp/data.log /data/data/com.example.workprofile/files/logs/data.log

If you want to pull the file you can do the opposite but you have to make sure that the file you want to copy already exists in the /data/local/tmp folder to workaround the permission deny issue (if the file does not exist).

Hope this helps.

  • Above methods works for path `/data/data/com....` however, doesnt work for App on workprofile as different sdcard paths say `/storage/emulated/11/Android/data/...` and results in `permission denied` – user755 Jun 15 '20 at 09:38
  • This only works on Android 11 (and beyond) when the application has `WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` permissions. If not, the app cannot access `/data/local/tmp` nor any other (temporary) directory I know of. So the file can be pushed just fine, but it can't be seen / accessed by the work profile user. – Thomas Keller Apr 23 '21 at 10:11
