Checking where the file is stored in android?

I am writing a log data to the File in android. But I am unable to understand where this file is stored on my android device ( google nexsus 7 ). Where and How should I look for the contents of the file ?

Following is the piece of code I am using to write log data to the file.

public File AppendingLog(String LogData){


        try {
            File logFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),
                    "yourLog.txt");
            if (!logFile.exists()) {
                try {
                    logFile.createNewFile();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
            try {
                BufferedWriter buf = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(logFile,
                        true));
                buf.append(LogData);
                buf.newLine();
                buf.close();
            } catch (IOException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
                  e.printStackTrace();
        }


        return logFile;
    }

android.util.Log.d("myapp", logFile.toString());

On most devices, it will be in /sdcard/. The exact path will be /sdcard/yourLog.txt.

As you are using Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), the actual path will differ between devices. Some devices return the external sd card path, but most will return the internal sd card's path, which usually is /sdcard/.
