How to check user folder in Android Studio?

I made a file on the default folder using the following code:

FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = openFileOutput("data.dat",MODE_PRIVATE);
fileOutputStream.write("Hakuna Matata".getBytes());
fileOutputStream.close();

The file is created and stored, I can read it using FileInputStream and openFileInput.

I want to check this file using the Android Studio Device File Explorer, I think my file was stored in a folder inside /data/user/0/, but I can not see this /user/ folder.

It seems like I need some permissions to see this folder.

Is there any way to access my file using the Device File Explorer?

Paths seen by apps do not necessarily match what you will see in Android Studio's Device File Explorer or in adb shell.

Most likely, your files can be found in /data/data/.../files/, where ... is your application ID.
