I just tried to create a new application for android 4.4.4.

How can I create an application that is installed in the internal memory of the device and I can see some files (database,photo..) at path: my s5 phone/[my_package]/Database

Thanks

I afraid you can't see any files on the internal memory of one device except you have the root permission. You need to root your device.

PS: Here is details about internal and external storage, have a check here if you are still interested.

  • So how i see now a WhatsApp folder at /internal/whatsApp – user3428151 Mar 30 '15 at 08:58
  • @user3428151 this is not an internal storage. What you see is on the disc storage. It is just like a u-disc which is just a storage device. Android system files is on internal storage which is not permitted to access except you have root permission. Just like the root account on you Linux/Unix system. – SilentKnight Mar 30 '15 at 09:05
  • so what is the option to create the same "visible" folder li whatsapp? that is not on external memory. Thanks. – user3428151 Mar 30 '15 at 09:11
  • Just as I told you, root your device first. And then, install some file managers like `ES File Explorer` or `Root Explorer Pro`, you could check files which have root permission. – SilentKnight Mar 30 '15 at 09:22
  • But if whatsapp can create visible folder that stores database on internal storage without root my device, why i cannot create such visible folder? – user3428151 Mar 30 '15 at 09:28
  • If Whatsapp create a database by using SQLite, you would can't see the database on the external storage. Anything about SQLite would be stored in `'/data/data//databases/'`, could you see this directory? If not, stop talking about internal or external storage with me. Files created by using `Envionment` are stored in the external storage – SilentKnight Mar 30 '15 at 09:39
