Android: Where are files saved?

I'm programming an app, which needs to store data in a textfile.

I'm using FileOutputStream:

outputStream = openFileOutput(filename, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
outputStream.write(data.getBytes());
outputStream.close();

My question is: Where is the file saved?

I can't find it anywhere...

For debugging, I'm using a nexus7.

writes to a file in your internal directory /data/data/pacakage/files

It's stored under /data/data/<your app> by default. But unless you have rooted device, you have no access to this folder from device. But you can take a look on your file by using DDMS from the Android SDK (at the android-sdk\tools folder)

/data/data/your.app.package.name/files, but note this can be device dependent.. you can find it in eclipse by typing DDMS and then go to file explorer and then follow the above path

If You are using Context.MODE_PRIVATE it is stored in application data directory and you do not have access to them from file manager
