Android: View file created in internal storage

I have created an app using Xamarin Forms PCL project in that I tried to write a file in internal memory of android device with the help of this link.

Using DDMS, I tried viewing the files that I have created but in DDMS I am unable to find the file.

In device physically, there is no such folder that I created.

Is there any way that I can view the files that I have created in android device.

Solution

  • Assuming you have correct write permissions such as writing to external storage

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

    There are 2 main locations it can end up.

    /data/data/yourpackagename/

    or

    /sdcard (with the data and packagename, I think)

    But they can go into different folders, depending on where you write them.
