File invisible on phone??

[Jamsa]

I've written a file to the internal storage using this:
File.WriteString(File.DirInternal, "Data.txt", strResult)

and I read data from it at some other part of my code.

All works 100%.

I'm not deleting or renaming it, but if I try to find the file using windows explorer, I can't find it! :BangHead:

Why is that??

Because it is in the emulator filesystem, not your windows filesystem.
Have a read of: Files - Basic4android Wiki


If you feel like it you can open a command prompt in windows(locate the adb.exe file in android sdk/platform-tools)
Do:
adb -e shell

cd /data/<yourpackagename>/files
ls
cat Data.txt

Aha. Well that explains it.

I'm not using the emulator, but real phones

I guess I'll have to use File.DirRootExternal and then I can see it. Correct?

Yes, if you mount the storage you can see it in windows explorer.
