I use the internal shared preferences to store key/values on an Android device. I wanted to have a look at this data directly using a file explorer but I cannot find where it is stored physically. Most apps have an own directory on Android/data but there is no folder for my Flutter app.

Do you have an idea where the data is stored locally?

Thanks in advance.

Edit (To make my problem clearer):

I need to access this data from outside app. A user of my app is not able to start the app anymore for some reasons. I want him to send me the internal data for debugging purposes.

So is it possible to fetch the related files in any way without the app self?

On native android its stored inside the data folder. The path will be something like

/data/data/<your_package_name>/shared_prefs/YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME_preferences.xml

On Flutter projects its stored inside the same folder but with fixed name FlutterSharedPreferences.xml Something like

/data/data/<your_package_name>/shared_prefs/FlutterSharedPreferences.xml

CodePudding user response：

SharedPreferences are stored in an xml file in the app data folder, i.e.

/data/data/YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME/shared_prefs/

You can access these from Device File Explorer Tab inside the Android Studio IDE on the right side :
