SharedPreferences file

Where are the shared preferences saved on a Nexus S? I have an app that creates and uses shared preferences and need to gain access to the preferences from outside the app - like with a file explorer. Before you answer with the location of some xml file, I listed every xml file on my device and there are none that are named preferences or with any name that looks like it could be for a preferences file.

You can only access SharedPreferences outside your app if the device is rooted. They are located at:

/data/data/#packageName#/shared_prefs/#filename#.xml

Unless your phone is rooted you cannot get the shared Preferences of a particular app.

If it is rooted you can get it at 

/data/data/[yourpackagename]/
