On newer versions of the platform, if you mark your app as debuggable (ADT
should do this automatically when you do debug builds I believe), then you
can use the "su" command to switch to run under your app's uid and thus get
access to its files.

This makes it relatively easy to use the device's command line tools on the
app's data, but there isn't an easy way to push/pull.  What you will need
to do for that is copy the files to between external storage using the
shell, and push/pull the file at the external storage location.  (And if
you are copying from your app to external storage, your app will need to
hold the write sd card permission.)
