userdata folder on android, can't seem to find it. - mobious - 2013-09-15

So I know about this.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Userdata

Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/

Thats the directory, and I can find everything up until "files".

I don't know why the .xbmc folder is not showing, I tried to create it with ES file manager but it wouldn't let me, I am unsure if thats because the folder is there and I am not seeing it or it just doesn't allow us to create folders with a period in front of the name.

So yeah how do I get this working? Because I want to move my advancesettings.xml to make use of my MYSQL database.

Have you enabled 'view hidden files' in your file manager?
The '.' makes it hidden.

Ah thank you I did not know that, that did the trick.

I'm having the same problem and I have enabled hidden files. I'm running on a10e Samsung, I just don't have these files. because when I run webcast it wants me to download a file to userdata. Is there a way to download these files and folders
