Hi everyone, I got an issue with FileAccess.open() on a movile device, on pc works fine, but, on the movile device seems like do not works properly, I verify this using the adb logcat to see what happens and it looks like the file is created but in this directory: data/data/[company name]/files, and if I check that on a pc (device connected) the file does not exist.

I try different way to achieve that, but no one result (even using something like: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/[company name]/files). hopes this comment will be useful to check that, cheers.

By the way, the devices were a tablet and a smartphone (Samsung Tab7 Lite and Xiaomi Redmi 11)

user:// is in a private location on Android (it's the /data path you mentioned). You can access it on a PC, but usually only in read-only form and even then, it requires configuring special permissions to be read.

To load/save files into user-visible locations on Android, you need to grant scoped storage permissions by presenting the user with a native folder selection dialog. Only then the app will be allowed to load and save files in that directory.

I actually do that with other engine (I want to give it a try with Godot), I only require the path (mentioned before) and I got what I require: the path where to store the file, but in Godot, it looks like there's a variant on the os file management, because like a said before - the adb show that the file is writed but not accessible (even in Godot). I check other's videos than explain the process, but in my case, does not works.

I actually find what is the issue, it looks like the instance of the file is created, but not writed to disk (just keep it in the variable)
