I have succefully created an Inten to take a photo and save it in this directory:
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.iyfuture.peddypaper/files/Pictures/Image.jpg
After this I do a display of this picture (using the previous URI directory) to make sure that is working. And it is!
My question now is related with the android studio device file explorer.
If I wasn´t sucessfull to do the display of this image how could I check if it is inside this directory.
In other words how can I find this image inside the device file explorer?
I have searched in the "popular" directory data/data/com.iyfuture.peddypaper but there is nothing there...
I also have the device file explorer synchronized and the mobile phone emulator I am using it is the same as the one that is selected on top of the device file explorer.
It is under sdcard/Android/data/com.iyfuture.peddypaper/files/Pictures/Image.jpg

I've created a folder in my program and use MediaScannerConnection to get it visible on Computer.
I did just the same as the answer to this question: add a folder in android program
Now the problem is that, on the computer, the folder doesn't show as a folder, but as a blank file.
Does anyone knows why this happens and how to get the folder show in correct way?
Thanks.
How do we get a current wallpaper absolute path
On Android 4.2 the wallpaper is located at:
/data/system/users/0/wallpaper
Replace the 0 with your user id (take a look in /data/system/users).
Make sure you are looking in the phone's root directory to start, NOT on the SDcard. Once you get to the right subdirectory the wallpaper file will just be called "wallpaper" and until you copy it to the SDcard and rename it to "YourName.jpg" the picture viewers may not recognize it as an image file.
I tried both ES File Explorer and Root Explorer (download from Marketplace) to copy the file from the phone root area., i.e. phone ROOT/data/data/com.android.settings/files/wallpaper...it's the lowest level of the phone storage itself, similar to "computer" in windows.
Probably the File Explorer on your phone won't let you access the root (your phone shouldn't need ROOT privileges just to copy the file)
use wallpaperManager and call getWallpaperInfo. This will return you a wallpaperinfo object which contains all the info about the wallpaper. Read more about the wallpapernfo here.
I would imagine that the current wallpaper will be stored in a private system folder.
On Android Oreo and using one of the provided wallpapers from the system, the wallpaper I wanted wasn't on the path mentioned by the accepted answer but I found the apk that had it on a system folder.
I got it from the path: system/framework/framework-res.apk
I had to open the apk and extract: /res/drawable-nodpi-v4/default_wallpaper.png.
Android Oreo is not in the place from other comments
Internal Storage/Android/data/com.android.systemui/files/backupwallpapers
I just had to find a wallpaper that I deleted from my downloads folder.
Download the apk file ...
go to this path...you can find it here
Download\com.amber.launcher.skin.samsung.galaxy_2018-08-24\res\drawable-nodpi-v4\bg_wallpaper.jpg
I am saving data internally to the phone in Eclipse, and I was told the file that it was saving to was located here. I try to open the file by double-clicking it to see the saved data, but nothing comes up. What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to check that it is saving to the file properly. I am trying to verify that it is saving the text here since I am not sure where else it is saving it.
I have tried pulling it, and saving it to my desktop, but all I get is this error:
Failed to pull selection
(null)
The DDMS file explorer LOOKS like a windows file explorer, and so you think you should just click on things and drag them around and so on.
Unfortunately, it isn't. It LOOKS like that but it IS NOT that.
From the Using DDMS page we find:
To work with an emulator or device's file system:
In the Devices tab, select the emulator that you want to view the file system for.
To copy a file from the device, locate the file in the File Explorer and click the Pull file button.
To copy a file to the device, click the Push file button on the File Explorer tab.
Which is to say, you have to use the buttons to copy the file off the phone on to your local filesystem. From there you can read it using all the double clicking and dragging you are used to.
I'm guessing you viewing the file from the file explorer in the DDMS. Once you located the file there's a couple buttons on the top right corner to pull/push files from the device
Pulling the file from the device via the File Explorer is the correct way. Not sure why is it failing. Real phone or emulator?
There's another way though. There's a program called ADB in the Android SDK; it's under platform-tools. Run it with the following parameters:
adb shell cat /data/data/com.mypackage/files/textfile.txt
The package name will vary, obviously. This will print the file contents to the standard output.
EDIT:
Press Windows key+R.
Type "cmd", click OK.
Type or paste the following line:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb shell cat /data/data/com.mypackage/files/textfile.txt
replacing the com.mypackage name with the name of your app's package, which I cannot possibly know. Also replace the path to the Android SDK, if needed.
Press Enter.
Watch the output.
EDIT2: by the way, are you closing the stream after writing the data? That could be the reason you could not pull the file via the File Explorer.
From my application I am downloading a few files and storing it in data/data/package_name/files folder and I'm accessing and viewing those files and I download that file once and each time I run application.
I could view that file as the data is persistent in data/data/package_name/files folder so it is not lost when session ends.
All this I am doing in the emulator. Now I have created an .apk file of my application and installed it on a real device. I am expecting that the "data/data/package_name/files" is also packed up with it but which is not happening. I can't see the downloaded file.
As my problem is that I could not connect to Internet from my real device, I could not download file. Is there any way that I could create an .apk file along with the data in "data/data/package_name/files"?
save these files in assests folder, instead of saving in your app memory space, it will not go with your apk.below link will help you in the same storing file in assets which will go with apk
If you just want copy that file to your device during testing. You can upload the file from PC to mobile device by DDMS tool.
Choose the DDMS View from Eclipse, then click the icon of 'Push a file onto the device' on the tab of 'File Explorer',then select the file from the open dialog. That's all.
Eclipse DDMS File Explorer File uploading for gallery but not showing in android emulator gallery. Any idea please help I am new in android.
Uploading a file via DDMS does not cause the MediaStore to recognize the file, and it is the MediaStore index that is used by the Gallery app.
From code, you can use MediaScannerConnection to force a re-scan. Or, restart the emulator, as external storage is re-scanned on each startup.
BTW, I am assuming that you uploaded the file to some place on external storage (e.g., /mnt/sdcard/).
I had the same problem with this so I am taking the time to provide an answer.
Uploading media to emulator:
After you upload the media to the emulator click on the Dev Tools icon.
Then go to Media Provider
Press the Scan SD Card button.
Now, your images should show.
