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.)
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?
How am I able to push .txt files to the emulator using Android Studio?
One easy way is to drag and drop. It will copy files to /sdcard/Download. You can copy whole folders or multiple files. Make sure that "Enable Clipboard Sharing" is enabled. (under ...->Settings)
Update (May 2020):
Android studio have new tool called Device File Explorer. You can access it in two way:
By clicking on Device File Explorer icon in right bottom corner of android studio window.
If you could not find its icon, inside Android Studio press shift button twice. Quick search window will appear, then type Device File in it and Device File Explorer will appear in search result and you can click it.
Then you can navigate to folder which you want to push your file in it. Right click on that folder and select upload(or press Ctrl+Shift+O). Select file you want to upload and it will upload file to desired location.
Push file using adb.exe:
In Android 6.0+, you should use same process but your android application cannot access files which pushed inside SDCARD using DDMS File Explorer. It is the same if you try commands like this:
adb push myfile.txt /mnt/sdcard/myfile.txt
If you face EACCES (Permission denied) exception when you try to read file inside your application, it means you have no access to files inside external storage, since it requires a dangerous permission.
For this situation, you need to request granting access manually using new permission system in Android 6.0 and upper version. For details you can have a look in android tutorial and this link.
Solution for old android studio version:
If you want to do it using graphical interface you can follow this inside android studio menus:
Tools --> Android --> Android Device Monitor
Afterward, Android Device Monitor(DDMS) window will open and you can upload files using File Explorer. You can select an address like /mnt/sdcard and then push your file into sdcard.
You can use the ADB via a terminal to pass the file From Desktop to Emulator.
adb push <file-source-local> <file-destination-remote>
You can also copy file from emulator to Desktop
adb pull <file-source-remote> <file-destination-local>
How ever you can also use the Android Device Monitor to access files. Click on the Android Icon which can be found in the toolbar itself. It'll take few seconds to load. Once it's loaded, you can see a tab named "File Explorer". Now you can pull/push files from there.
Android Device monitor is no longer available in android studio.
If you are using android studio 3.0 and above.
Go to "Device File Explorer" which is on the bottom right of android studio.
If you have more than one device connected, select the device you want from the drop-down list on top.
mnt>sdcard is the location for SD card on the emulator.
Right click on the folder and click Upload. See the image below.
Note: You can upload folder as well not just individual files.
I am using Android Studio 3.3.
Go to View -> Tools Window -> Device File Explorer.
Or you can find it on the Bottom Right corner of the Android Studio.
If the Emulator is running, the Device File Explorer will display the File structure on Emulator Storage.
Here you can right click on a Folder and select "Upload" to place the file
I usually use mnt - sdcard - download folder.
Thanks.
After you drag and drop your files from Desktop to Emulator like this answer here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/44885506/3904109
Your location of files will be
Android 19, 21, 22 /storage/sdcard/Download
Android 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 /storage/emulated/0/Download
Open command prompt and give the platform-tools path of the sdk.
Eg:- C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>
Then type 'adb push' command like below,
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb push C:\MyFiles\fileName.txt /sdcard/fileName.txt
This command push the file to the root folder of the emulator.
refer johnml1135 answer, but not fully work.
after self investigate, using official docs, it works now:
and use Drag and Drop actually worked, but use android self installed app Download, then you can NOT find the copied file, for not exist so called /sdcard/Download folder.
finally using other file manager app, like
ES File Explorer
then can see the really path is
/storage/emulated/0/Download/
which contains the copied files, like
/storage/emulated/0/Download/chenhongyu_lixiangsanxun.mp3
after drag and drop more mp3 files:
adb push [file path on your computer] [file path on your mobile]
on windows 10 , android studio emulator.
be on the directory yourFile.xml is.
on terminal, command:
adb push yourFile.xml \C:\Users\yourUN\.android\avd\Pixel_4_API_29.avd\mnt\sdcard
Pixel_4_API_29 is the emulator name , choose the device you are using on emulator
Just need to drag and drop to the corresponding directory in the ADB
When I connect the android tablet to windows 7 I get 2 external devices, one of them (H) doesn't open.
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.
