[android-developers] Re: where is my data?
thanks for the fast reply. only thing is: getFilesDir() returns /data/data/de.stephanwiesner and, like i wrote, that dir does not exist (or is not accessible) Furthermore I read in Sams Teach Yourself Android that the data should be in /data/data/package name And, I am sure that it was there last week. I have copied my database file several times to my PC for further processing and can't do that anymore, as I don't find it :-() My phone was never rooted.

Re: [android-developers] Re: where is my data?
Still, you can access that directory through your app. Try writing and reading a file there and it should work fine.

Re: [android-developers] Re: where is my data?
Yes, I can read my data. Frankly I just wanted to copy my database via eclipse ddms to my PC for analysis. Guess I will have to mail it or something .-) Thanks, Stephan 2010/12/21 YuviDroid yuvidr...@gmail.com: Still, you can access that directory through your app. Try writing and reading a file there and it should work fine.

Re: [android-developers] Re: where is my data?
If you can read it from app, why dont you just copy it to sdcard by writing some lines of codes in your app? Then you can get it to your pc from sdcard.

Re: [android-developers] Re: where is my data?
ähm, actually, i do not have an (external) SD Card. The phone has 8 GB on its own, so no need for a card. Its actually very interesting to see how many apps don't work without a card .-) Writing to the internal card would be great, though. Did not think of that and I will try that right away. I just wrote a PHP script I can send my data to and that forwards it to, ähm, it works, but might be a little overkill...

Re: [android-developers] Re: where is my data?
the internal 8GB flash memory is accessible when you connect the device to PC. If you have got what you need, then its already resolved :) Regards Sarwar Erfan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
