The adb tool is located in your SDK location under platform-tools directory: Using Android adb What is Android adb?Īndroid adb (Android Debug Bridge) is a part of ADT (Android Development Tools) which is a command line tool that lets you communicate with Android connected devices it can be an emulator or a real hardware device. So what we need to do is acquire this permission, in order to access it. If you cannot open the data folder in Eclipse, that means you do not have an appropriate permission for this file. There is a directory called data that we are interested in. In DDMS, go to File Explorer tab, you should see the folder list as you click: Window -> Open Perspective -> DDMS File Explorer

If you do not already have the DDMS tab near the Java and Debug tabs, do as follows: In order to view Android internal device files in Eclipse, you will need to open the DDMS perspective: When you done, set back the default permissions for all files that you’ve changed. I am encouraging you to make those changes only for your application package directory. Once you open your file/directory to the “world”, it can be observed or even changed (depends on the permission type) by someone else. The RisksĬhanging file permissions can be very dangerous if you don't know exactly what you are doing. I will briefly explain about the Linux file permissions and the basic use of adb tool with illustrated examples for Windows users however other operating system users can benefit from this article as well, because the concept is the same. Once logged in you can select the Repositories menu and create your new repository.In this tutorial, I will explain how to view your Android internal files using Eclipse DDMS perspective. I first created my Bitbucket account signing in with my google account and providing a username and a password. In this way you can share code with your fellow developers even if your project is not intended to go open source. Here is what I did.įirst of all I chose Bitbucket and not Github because Bitbucket offers free private repository for small teams. I had to find tiny bits of information sparse around the web ’cause it seems most people consider cool to have any developer configure locally their own project once they first checkout. My goal is to allow a fellow developer to checkout (Clone in Git words) the project from server and have it fully functional and ready to be run or to work on it and commit changes. This post dates back to 2016 and is migrated from an older blog. Today I will share my experience about creating a Git repository for a new Android Studio project.
