Okay I don't know how to get to the file explorer in android studio. I already tried searching stack overflow and I found the same question I am asking but the solution there didn't work. So with screen shots could someone tell me how to get to the file explorer?

For Android Studio 0.8.6, go to Tools > Android > Android Device Monitor in the main menu, to bring up the Android Device Monitor in a separate window. There you will find what amounts a set of Eclipse perspectives, notably the DDMS perspective, which has the File Explorer view.

  • For some reason when I try and open that up, it asks me where the android sdk is and when I put in the directory, it says: "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\hprof-conv.exe not present". – user3843164 Aug 18 '14 at 06:22
  • @user3843164: Make sure that you are on the latest "Build-tools" and "Platform-tools" in the SDK Manager. I seem to recall that `hprof-conv.exe` was missing in the days after Google I|O, but AFAIK that has since been repaired. – CommonsWare Aug 18 '14 at 09:56
  • As soon as you start your app it tells you it needs to close the DDMS, so you're left with a basic cut down version of DDMS built into android studio. – Neil Walker Apr 11 '15 at 13:27
  • debugging and ADM don't go together.. one of them needs to be finished. – Farhan Aug 23 '15 at 08:50
