Can't access data folder in the File Explorer of DDMS using a Nexus One!

Question

Hi guys!

I have my Nexus One connected with the USB.

When I visit the File Explorer of the DDMS, if I click on the "data" folder the little plus near the name "data" disappear for 2-6 seconds and then reappear but the contenct of the folder "data" is not showed!

Here some other information:

• the folder data has permissions drwxrwx--x

• the OS of my PC is Windows XP

• Eclipse v. 3.5.2

• Android SDK 1.6

Thank u very much for ur help!!!

Answer 1

I connected to the device with the adb shell: adb -d shell

I try to navigate to the data folder but I get a "permission denied"

It looks like if I don't have root permission I cannot access does folder on the phone... But it's quite stupid considering that to test an application on the device I need to visit such folder...

So am I forced to jailbreak the Android Phone and gain access root access to check the content of the data folder while testing?!
