File Explorer

Android

Availability: the Files plugin is not part of the current release. It is not installed by Snapbug.start(), and the standalone snapbug-files module is temporarily disabled. The feature is planned to return in a future version; the page below describes how it will work.

The File Explorer lets you browse your app's internal file storage directly from the Snapbug inspector. Navigate directories, view file metadata, and download files -- all without root access or adb pull commands.

Features

  • Browse the internal file directory tree
  • View file metadata (size, last modified, path)
  • Download files to your computer

Use Cases

  • Logs -- inspect log files written by your app or crash reporting libraries
  • Cache -- verify cached data, images, or API responses
  • Downloaded assets -- check files downloaded at runtime
  • Database files -- locate .db files for manual inspection

The File Explorer shows files in your app's internal storage directory (/data/data/your.package.name/). External storage and SD card files are not accessible.

How It Will Work

  1. Connect your device and launch your app with Snapbug initialized.
  2. Open the Files tab in the Snapbug inspector.
  3. Browse the directory tree to find your files.
  4. Select a file to view its metadata or download it.

File access is limited to your app's sandbox. Snapbug cannot access files from other apps or system directories.
