Try to search for this file with a file explorer app.

Thanks Erel, I have a question, you could search through terminal without being root, and take the value of that variable somehow?

It would be nice to implement a file search for a future version if possible.

Thank you!

You can already search for a file with File.ListFiles. The problem is that you need to know the file name. It is also possible that the app stores the files in its internal folder which is not accessible by other apps.

Sorry but I don't understand the question.

Ok Erel. In this case the file in question is called msgstore.db.crypt and in the case of my SGS2 is in / storage/sdcard0/Whatsapp/Databases (the route is showing Root Explorer).

What would be the command to store the path of the directory and file?
I'm a little confused with the use of this command ... forgive but it's Monday: S

thanks

This path is probably:

B4X:

File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "Whatsapp/Databases")
