2.6. Device File Explorer

To test and debug our application, we can access the file system of the device that we have connected in debug mode. To do so, we need to access the View \ Tool Windows \ Device File Explorer option. In the path: /data/data/YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME we find the different folders and files related to our application.

If a file that should be inside a directory is not visible, select the directory and from the context menu select Sync.

Furthermore, the context menu in Device File Explorer lets us upload files or download files from the device to the computer where we are developing.
