I have an app which gets data from an Arduino via bluetooth. The data are written into various ArrayLists and saved in files afterwards. Here is the code:



public boolean SaveValues(ArrayList<String> arrayList1, ArrayList<String> arrayList2, String valueType, String timeStart, String timeStop) 
String filename = "File_" + valueType + "_" + timeStart + " bis " + timeStop;
FileOutputStream outputStream = null;
if(arrayList1.size() == 0)
return false;

try
outputStream = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
for (int i = 0; i < arrayList1.size(); i++)
outputStream.write(arrayList1.get(i).getBytes());
outputStream.write("n".getBytes());
outputStream.write(arrayList2.get(i).getBytes());
outputStream.write("n".getBytes());

outputStream.close();
return true;
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
finally
if (outputStream != null)
try
outputStream.close();
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();






I also save the valuetype, timeStart and timeStop into a database to be able to find the files. My problem is, that somehow the table where I save these values got deleted, so I am not able to find the files in the app. I would like to find the files maybe on the phone or something. Actually, I just need the filenames to be able to open them in the app, because they contain data I need. So, where can I find these files?



I have tried searching in the phones files. The files, and all the other apps data, should be saved in Android/data/package-name but I can't find the package name in Android/data. I also tried to search for "File_" in the files, because that's what every one of my files start with. But no file gets found.

  • thanks! It returns /data/data/com.lis.lis/files/'filename'. But I have to create a new file and pass it to getFilesStreamPath(). I don't know how I can find the old files, because when I go to the files on the phone, there is no /data/data/com.lis.lis.

  • you dint have to create anything, openFileOutput() docs say: "Open a private file associated with this Context's application package for writing. Creates the file if it doesn't already exist."

  • My problem is, that I don't know the names of my files. The method getFileStreamPath() returns /data/data/com.lis.lis/files/'filename'. When I search in the phones internal storage, I can't find this path. There is just Android/data/, but in that directory I can't find the package-name of my app. So I don't know where I can find the files.

  • read Context javadocs - it has a method that returns the parent folder - you can use that parent folder when calling one of File.list* methods
