I am working in an android project in android studio and I have created a database using SQLite and a table inside of this database.So I have a problem when I want to appear the database.I have installed the DB Browser for SQLite,and have followed the steps for finding database like;Tools-Android-Android Device Monitor-File Explorer; but when I go to the the folder 'data' it does contain nothing(it should contain the folder data,and then database). I am using an AVD for emulation.Why it is empty?

In the Application Data folder, there is a folder named Volatile. What is this folder & it's contents used for?
Anybody??...
volatile folder is for temp storage.
read this post for more info.
Google can be helpful - try typing in "windows mobile volatile folder" in Google - it's the FIRST link
Thanks, it's a weird name for a temp folder!
hi,
is there some way to make applications use a user defined folder for their (temporary) files?
I'm using cynanogen mod 7 and in my sdcard folder i have a lot folders created by applications i've installed. but since i never need these folders it would be great if they'd be in a subdirectory (like sdcard/appFiles/dropbox)
right now i have directories called gameloft, dropbox, ezPDFReader, tapatalkxda_download, etc.
they clutter my sdcard folder and make it less nice to look at.
Being new to Java, Android OS and Android Studio, I am a bit overwhelmed by all the information and hope I am asking the right questions on the right forum. I am developing an application where the user creates and edits files of a specific format. I want to include example files in my deployment so that the user can play with them right away. Now my questions are:
How do I include those files with Android Studio?
How do I define/create a directory for these files?
What would be standard locations for this directory which allow the user to access the files with a file manager?

I've not yet made the transition to Android Studio, but in Eclipse there's a folder called /assets in the project structure. That folder gets built into the root of the APK. You can then access files in the /assets folder with the AssetManager.
Android puts tight controls on your access to devices resources. Each application has a default location for files that it can manage. You can retrieve the default working directory through the app Context. Check out Context.getFilesDir(). The application has the necessary privileges to read and write files to that location.
The crucial thing about internet search is keywords. The one I didn't know is "assets". Together with "android studio" I found a wealth of valuable links. Thanks for the help!
I was wondering if it is possible to stop android studio creating the folder .AndroidStudio1.4 every time I run it. A way to change the location is also OK.
I asked this question on superuser and mentioned there I already succeeded in changing the locations of the subfolders. Now I just get an empty folder in my home directory.
In 3.0, no Dual App folder.
I googled and saw in Android 11, Samsung created a folder named emulated/95 for the dual app ( the primary folder is emulated/0 ). and the "95" folder is a hidden folder and so far I tried a few FileManager Apps, none can even find that folder.
