can't find file created in dir returned by getFilesDir()

Question

One part of my app needs to write a data file out. I use getFilesDir() and it gives me a path like this (after adding a file name):

 /data/data/com.casadelgato.zillaconfigdroid/files/Log.1378357559316.csv

I create a PrintWriter to the file, write a bunch of stuff to it, and close it. No errors.

The problem is that I can't find the file anywhere on my Android device.

you will root permission i guess. if its on emulator you can use file explorer and check — Raghunandan, Sep 05 '13 at 05:13
you can't access that dir on real devices.have a look at this question : `http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13006315/how-to-access-data-data-folder-in-android-device` — Mehul Joisar, Sep 05 '13 at 05:19

mention the file name in the path

FileOutputStream fos = context.openFileOutput(path,
                    Context.MODE_PRIVATE);

write the file into the stream...and you get the file by passing the same file name

FileInputStream openFileInput = context.openFileInput(path);

read the input stream
