so I am coding an app and in order to debug I need to access the package folder on my Smartphone so that I can look for saved files. The directory folder Android/data/com.applicationName is always empty when I try to open it. I already tried to access hidden files but still without results.
Does the smartphone need to be rooted?
Yes, it must be rooted to access system files.
If you are planning to access your app data, you can call getFilesDir();
