In Android, where are files saved by default?

If I save a file without any path name .. e.g. "abc.txt" ... where would it be saved on the device ?

where should I look in emulator file system if to try to find a file I saved?

/data/data/your.app.package.name/files, but note this can be device dependent so you should follow CommonsGuy's advice!

Don't do that.

Use getFilesDir() to get at the root of your application-local file area on internal storage. Or, use openFileOutput(), which gives you an OutputStream to a file in the directory identified by getFilesDir().
