Android Question file.db path recovery

[fifiddu70]

hello everyone, I should retrieve a db inside the folder of my app, the saving path is in the internal memory: file.dirInternal "comande.db"
what is the path to find this database through file manager?

Unless you device is rooted you cannot access File.DirInternal. This has copy protection advantages for your data but you have found one disadvantage if you want to access the files yourself.

Try using GetSafeDirDefaultExternal

You can do a file.list to see all folders/files. Please use only dirinternal because Google will be much more restrictive in the future. If you need to move/copy the db, use other methods like uploading the data or sharing it (search for "share" / "intents". Why do you need to access the db's file at all?

Please use only dirinternal because Google will be much more restrictive in the future

RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal will remain accessible. File.DirRootExternal won't be.

Two tips:
1. If the SQLite journal mode is set to wal then the database will be made of three files. In that case you should zip the files.
2. It is probably best to let the user share the file however they like: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/class-fileprovider-share-files.97865/#content
