Cant find the file i created on android tablet

/data directory in android is empty. I have installed a few applications and i also wrote code to create a file in /data/Myapp directory ,

I have these lines in OnCreate method , but i dont see any files in /data directory after running the program.

    File fileDir = getFilesDir();
    String filedir=fileDir.toString();
    Log.v("TEST","FILEDIR--->"+filedir);

       //output i got is FILEDIR--->/data/data/com.android.Test/files

    String strNewFileName = "test1.txt";
    String strFileContents = " MY FIRST FILE CREATION PRGM";

    File newFile = new File(fileDir, strNewFileName);
    try{

            boolean filestat = newFile.createNewFile();
            Log.v("TEST"," CREATE FILE =>"+ filestat);

                //output is CREATE FILE =>true indicating success

            FileOutputStream fo =
            new FileOutputStream(newFile.getAbsolutePath());
            fo.write(strFileContents.getBytes());
            fo.close();
    }
    catch(IOException e) 
    {Log.v("TEST","Exception on create ");}

On real device, you can't see these folders if it's not rooted. see this question.

If you want to write files in your app directory, then your code is OK. You can check that it is there in the same way you created it - from your application:

File myFile = new File(getFilesDir() + "/test1.txt");
if (myFile.exists())
{
  //Good!
}
