These commands allowed me to expand and view the files in my app's directory to confirm that the. chmod 777 / data / data/ data / data/ data//*įollowed by: chmod 777 / data / data/ data / data/ data//files I now could expand my myapp folder, but could not expand the files directory in it.Īt this point, I played around for a while then figured why not just try it on the directory I need rather than trying these wildcard entries. That solution seemed to work, but only on certain folders. That is when I tried the solution I posted: chmod 777 / data / data/ data / data/ data/* The initial instructions would not work on this part: chmod 777 / data / data/ data / data/ data/ / data/ data//* That is when I discovered the above solution. directories, but I could not open any of them. I rooted my 6 and tried DDMS again.Īt this point, it showed me the data folder and I could expand the folder and see the com. As mentioned online in other places, the expand + would vanish then reappear shortly thereafter (note, there are solutions on the web that claim to allow access to these folders without rooting, I didn't find them till too late, and I'm not sure if I prefer not to root anyway ((I'd rather be able to do it manually than rely on an app or command prompt to give me my solutions))).

I could see the data folder, but trying to open it would not work. When I first started to try to access this file on my Nexus 6, I found that I have to root the device. I'm running a Nexus 6 using DDMS in IntelliJ (Android Device Monitor). I assume the same solution is true for Eclipse DDMS. Changing the chmod command to /data/data/* gave access to all subfolders in the data directory from DDMS in Intellij.


The original solution worked, but the chmod would return unknown directory. Open DDMS view in Eclipse/IntelliJ and from there open 'FileExplorer' to get your desired file On a rooted device, the correct solution is this: Open cmdĬhange your directory and go into 'Platform tools'Ĭhmod 777 / data / data/ data / data/ data /*
