Accessing file explorer without having a android studio project

I have a flutter project that i created and manage with vscode.

I now need to access some files on my android emulator.

Everything i read online references the File Explorer tool in android studios.

However, i am not using android studios and i dont have a android studio project.

The only way i see at the moment is to abandon using vscode and recreate my project using android studios then using the file explorer from there...

However, this seems silly and excessive... i am sure there is someway i can access the file on my emulator without having to trow vscode in the trash.

Any ideas?

You can't access emulator's file system from VS Code as of now. If you don't want to use Android Studio then an alternative way is to use ADB Shell.

Here are the commands that you can use to interact with the File System of your emulator.

  • adb pull - To copy a file or directory and its sub-directories from the Android device
  • adb push - copy local files/directories to Android device
  • adb shell ls- List Files and Directories
  • adb shell cd - change directory
  • adb shell rm - rm is a command-line utility for removing files, directories and symbolic links
  • adb shell mkdir - make directories
  • adb shell touch- the touch command is a standard command used in UNIX/Linux operating system which is used to create, change and modify timestamps of a file
  • adb shell pwd - printing the current working directory
  • adb shell cp - copy files and directories
  • adb shell mv - moves files or directories from one place to another

For a detailed example please visit ADB Shell.
