I forgot the name of a SharedPreferences file that I created a while back.

  • 0

I forgot the name of a SharedPreferences file that I created a while back.
My tablet is not rooted. Is there a way to view / list all SharedPreferences
files ever created? If not, then it seems like I have a block of memory out there
that I can never access again.

  1. I have tried the adb shell >> navigate to package >> ls approach. But I am not rooted so I receive the response: “opendir failed, Permission denied”

  2. I have looked around in my project directory as well as inside of eclipse, I cannot find any names of files that look like a sharedpreferences file.

  3. I have hooked up my tablet to my PC via usb and searched around the file explorer from within windows, Android > data > does not list my project.

What am I do to? How can I find out all of the names of past SharedPreferences files created?

    Install the application on your Android emulator and use the DDMS File Explorer to find out 🙂
