Can anyone tell where the file explorer is located in Android Studio?
I tried to search in windows menu but there isn't any option like "show view" that used to be in Eclipse.

If we want to view the "com.google.android.gcm.xml" file we have to pull out the file from emulator.For that go to top right side of the panel there is button(floppy disk and arrow) for this operation.
Then we can give the location to save the file.You can open it from any text editor and you will be able to view the content of the XML file.
As of Android Studio 2.4 Preview, it seems that they introduced "Device File Explorer" directly into the IDE, so we can finally say goodbye to DDMS. You can enable it from the menu under "View >> Tool Windows".
I am in Android 3.6.1, and the way " Top Menu > View > Tools Window > Device File Manager" doesn't work.Because there is no the "Device File Manager" option in Tools Window.
But I resolve the problem with another way:
1?Find the magnifier icon on the top right toobar.
2?Click it and search "device" in the search bar, and you can see it.

1- menu, "Tools" -> "Android" -> "DDMS (monitor included)" 2- Open the File Explorer tab.

With Android Studio, you may use Android file explorer like: Click View > Tool Windows > Device File Explorer or click the Device File Explorer
It is very Simple brother Click on the Android Device monitor(ADM) just below the Help menu then the on ADM select your file explorer from left screen menu or for more details go here It may Help U thanx
Android Device Monitor
is a part of ANDROID SDK.
You can found it here: C:\android-sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86\monitor.exe
or C:\android-sdk\tools\lib\monitor-x86_64\monitor.exe
.
Run it for monitring or exploring files on the AVD.
Do you mean Project Explorer? Click 'Project' tab on the left edge of Android Studio.
Then the Android Device Monitor window will pop up. Click on the emulator & File Explorer.
Shared Preference files should be in:
DDMS-> File Explorer ->data -> data -> MY_PACKAGE_NAME -> shared_prefs -> YOUR_PREFERENCE_NAME.xml
If anyone is looking for the Android Studio (2.3.1) on Mac OSX (10.12.1) answer then here are the steps for it.
Tools Menu > Android > Android Device Monitor
Choose Your Device (at Left) > Click on File Explorer Tab (at Right)
Hope this helps.
If you want the basic answer to have the files on the left-hand side, just go on "View" then "Tool Buttons", you will then be able to choose "project".
Android 3.4.1 > Top Menu > View > Tools Window > Device File Manager
