Your new Help > Make Writable
makes it possible to see data in all of the subdirectories in
/data/data/org.dykman.j.android/app_jconsole
Prior to doing that I only had access to the subdirectory
j701-user
While all the others got
opendir failed, Permission denied
This is what ls displayed before the change:
drwx------ app_116 app_116 2012-03-15 18:54 addons
drwx------ app_116 app_116 2012-03-18 16:37 bin
drwx------ app_116 app_116 2012-03-15 18:54 docs
drwxrwxr-x app_116 app_116 2012-03-18 16:35 j701-user
drwx------ app_116 app_116 2012-03-15 18:54 system
This is what ls displayed after the change:
drwxrwxrwx app_116 app_116 2012-03-15 18:54 addons
drwxrwxrwx app_116 app_116 2012-03-18 16:37 bin
drwxrwxrwx app_116 app_116 2012-03-15 18:54 docs
drwxrwxrwx app_116 app_116 2012-03-18 16:35 j701-user
drwxrwxrwx app_116 app_116 2012-03-15 18:54 system
I've overcome the remaining issue, which others may encounter. Visual
directory viewers tend to ignore the access error and display an empty
directory. This makes navigating down to this data impossible in a visible
product. If your app has a way to type in
/data/data/org.dykman.j.android/app_jconsole
then the subdirectories are navigatable visually. The app I use also has a
way to create a desktop shortcut.
