File Explorer in Android Studio

Question

Can anyone tell where the file explorer is located in Android Studio?

I tried to search in windows menu but there isn't any option like "show view" that used to be in Eclipse.

Answer 1

You can start Android Device Monitor from the Android Studio (green robot icon on the toolbar, to the left of the help icon). From the ADM, select the device/emulator, then select the File Explorer tab.

Answer 2

Android Studio 3 Canary 1 has a new Device File Explorer

View -> Tool Windows -> Device File Explorer

So much better than DDMS and is the new improved way to get files off of your device!

Allows you to 'Open', 'Save As', 'Delete', 'Synchronize' and 'Copy Path'. Pretty awesome stuff!

Answer 3

Then the Android Device Monitor window will pop up. Click on the emulator & File Explorer.

Shared Preference files should be in:

DDMS-> File Explorer ->data -> data -> MY_PACKAGE_NAME -> shared_prefs -> YOUR_PREFERENCE_NAME.xml

Answer 4

it has changed and its docked to the right bottom of your android studio by default.

if you dont have that you can open it through view -> tool windows -> device file explorer

Answer 5

This works on Android Studio 1.x:

• Window --> Show View
• Search for File Explorer then press the OK Button
• The File Explorer Tab is now open on the View

Answer 6

Android Device Monitor is a part of ANDROID SDK .

You can found it here: C:\\android-sdk\\tools\\lib\\monitor-x86\\monitor.exe or C:\\android-sdk\\tools\\lib\\monitor-x86_64\\monitor.exe .

Run it for monitring or exploring files on the AVD.

[Additional stuff to Gene's answer]

If we want to view the "com.google.android.gcm.xml" file we have to pull out the file from emulator.For that go to top right side of the panel there is button(floppy disk and arrow) for this operation.

Then we can give the location to save the file.You can open it from any text editor and you will be able to view the content of the XML file.

I am in Android 3.6.1, and the way " Top Menu > View > Tools Window > Device File Manager" doesn't work.Because there is no the "Device File Manager" option in Tools Window.

But I resolve the problem with another way:

1、Find the magnifier icon on the top right toobar.

2、Click it and search "device" in the search bar, and you can see it.
