While testing my apps, I use emulators and my own phone to see if everything is working ok. My apps are also writing data to shared preferences and a text file.

I can pull the data from my emulators through the DDMS in eclipse so I can read the data files on my computer, but when I try to open those folders through the DDMS on my phone, nothing happens. I click the data folder and nothing happens.

My phone is rooted. Is there any way I could pull the files from my phone? I know that Android keeps these folders private, but there must be a way. The emulator is just way too slow.

    On rooted device you can do this:

    1. Open cmd
    2. Type adb shell
    3. su
    4. Press ‘Allow’ on device
    5. chmod 777 /data /data/data /data/data/com.application.package/data/data/com.application.package/*
    6. Go to the DDMS view in Eclipse

    After this you should be able to browse the files on the device.

    To get the databases:

    1. chmod 777 /data/data/com.application.package/databases /data/data/com.application.package/databases/*

    If it returns permission denied on su

    Go to Settings > Developer Options > Root access > Apps and ADB
