Android Studio 3 (All Versions) - Device File Explorer Nothing To Show


Answer :

After struggling with this for a day, the answer for me was associated with disabling SuperUser permissions for the ADB shell on my Android Device.

If you have rooted your device and are using an app like SuperSU, try disabling the SU permission for ADB shell in the apps view list.

  1. First disconnect your Android device from the computer running Android Studio
  2. On your Android device open SuperSU and select the apps tab.
  3. Click on ADB shell and select Access:'deny'
  4. Reconnect your device to your dev computer using a USB cable
  5. In Android Studio open the "Device File Explorer".

You should now see a list of files on the device, including files in /data/data/ and its subfolders

You would think that having SU permissions would be a good thing: but in this case, no.

Disable ADB shell's SU permissions in SuperSU


AS file explorer will execute su 0 sh -c 'ls -l /' to list the files. For unknown reason, SuperSu remove the single quotes and the actual command are su 0 sh -c ls -l /. In such case, the -l will not work. AS file explorer may have some problem to parse the output. So there is nothing to show. You can check the log of AS to get such behavior. Open the log from: help -> show log in explorer

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
