pulling a file from application user directory

rchakena

Hello forum,

Am trying to copy a file that got created under /data/user/0/com.benchmark.app/files/ directory. Have tried the following methods, but no luck

Method1: Using adb pull

adb pull /data/user/0/com.benchmark.app/files/test1.bin
Permission denied

Method2: Using run-as to copy to /data/local/tmp or other directory

adb shell;

run-as com.benchmark.app cp /data/user/0/com.benchmark.app/files/test1.bin  /data/local/tmp/

cp: /data/local/tmp/test1.bin: Permission denied

Is there any other alternate options to get this file without rooting the device.

Thank you,

rchakena

    The app has to be debugguable, but the workaround is to pipe the result of a command like tar to a file on the host - e.g. something like this, run from the host shell:
    adb exec-out run-as <package> tar -c <dir> > local.tar
    HTH,
