In my code i write some files in the destination /mnt/sdcard/magnum
When i run the app on a mobile phone i can see it through DDMS in the folder /mnt/shell/emulated/0/... but when i run it on an emulator i can see the folder magnum. A screenshot below. The shello folder can't be open.
Do you have any ideas why i can't find the folder on the emulator?

I need get files from no_backup folder in my production app - I can't lose these files.
In Android Studio (file explorer) that folder has path:
data/data/com.package.name/no_backup/my_files_list
Is there way to do this?
Phone is OnePlus 8 Pro - I have that device and I can do everything, but any file explorer from google play cannot find this folder, android studio can see that folder when my app is in debbug, but I can't run debugg app because my installed app will be uninstaled and "no_backup" folder will be lost.
this path is pointing on system partition. if you want to copy these files programmatically you have to get root access (or at least use privileged/preinstalled system app). if your device isn't rooted (rooting most oftenly wipes data/factory reset) and there is no default/system file explorer with viewing OS partition feature (never seen installed by default, thats would be very insecure) then you won't get access to these files
I have an Android Emulator I'm trying to use to debug an app I'm developing.
I know in Android Studio they have the Device File Explorer which is helpful but I may not know the exact subfolder where the file I'm looking for lives:
Is there a way either in the Device File Explorer or another tool that can search the file system of an Android Emulator by file name? (My computer's OS is Windows.)
I am using Android Studio to emulate a basic android 4.3 device. Using the Android Device Monitor - file explorer function I am looking through the emulated file system and not all of the folders which I know exist are being shown. For instance under an installed application (on my rooted test device using a file explorer, I know folders exist in a particular location), but when I check on the emulation, I cnt see these folders.
Does the emulator not offer complete access to the file system?
another example is that the downloads folder has an image in it, but on the emulator, the file path shows the downloads folder to be empty - or it wont show me the content.
Is there away round this?
Thanks

When I open G:, I get this
If I want to copy an app (adobe reader) to the tablet, to which folder should I copy it?
This is the screen of the tablet:
Where should I access the folders and files from?
Any? Copy it over, navigate to the folder on your phone, and click on the APK and it'll install. Make sure you allow your phone to install apps from unknown sources first.
That folder looks like the Android SD Card. If you copy it to any folder, just browse to it using a File Manager and click it to install it. You could also copy it to Downloads, and then open the Downloads app to install the APK. Make sure you also have enabled Unknown Sources.
I am trying to paste an sqlite database containing language details for testing in an AVD emulator. The application into which it is to be tested is mysword4android-3.5.1.apk, which I have installed into the emulator, and it is running. The test database is to be placed in a file "...mnt\sdcard\mysword" - what I can't figure out and find is:
Where in my laptop is this "...mnt\sdcard\mysword" located - all I get are png images or xml files when I search for it on my laptop.
How to place this sqlite database into the location/file so that the app can access it and show it
The makers of the app have simply said to copy and paste this database into the data path where other language databases are located; and this location is "...mnt\sdcard\mysword"
P.S. I have no idea about writing program code. I am using a Windows7 laptop and the AVD emulator is running Android 4.2. If the copy-paste can work that is all I can do.
The file is contained in an emulated SD card in the emulator and therefore not directly visible in the file system on your laptop. Use the tools provided with the Android development kit to move files between the laptop and the emulator file systems.
In particular, the adb pull and adb push commands will be helpful.
