Android emulator Mac OSX location

I assume you are talking about the AVD that you are creating for your simulator. By default, the AVD Manager creates the AVD directory inside ~/.android/avd/

If you want to see the files stored on the emulator, you can use the Device File Explorer that comes with the Android Studio.

Your app should be in /data/data/<you-app-id>


  • Open the AVD manager
  • Right-click one of the devices
  • Select "Show on Disk"
