Where do I find a file I saved on android?

I have successfully been able to save a file to my internal storage on android using the following code in java/android:

public void writeToFile(String filename) {
    String code = getIntent().getStringExtra("code_full");

    String fullCode = code;

    try {
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = openFileOutput(filename + ".cs", MODE_PRIVATE);
        fileOutputStream.write(fullCode.getBytes());
        fileOutputStream.close();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Saved as " + filename, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

I do not know where I can find the saved file in my android's folders (I am trying to find it on my PC with the phone plugged in.)

Anyone know where to find it?

If you saved a file to internal storage and want a String of the path to the file, you would do getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath().
