title: Flutter Hive - how to locate box files
body: <p>This may be obvious, but can someone please tell me how I can locate my Hive Box file after initialising Hive in a Flutter application, using Android Studio?</p>
  <p>I have followed the documentation here - <a href="https://docs.hivedb.dev/#/README" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://docs.hivedb.dev/#/README</a> - and my basic implementation works o.k, but I cannot find where the Box file, or any Hive files for that matter, are stored.</p>
  <p>I want to be able to locate where my Box (database) is within my Project in Android Studio, so that I can see the contents of the database and confirm it exists in the right place</p>
  <p>This is my code where I'm initialising Hive and opening a box</p>
  <pre><code>void main() async {
    // Initialise Hive
    await Hive.initFlutter('hiveusersfolder');
    runApp(MyApp());
    var box = await Hive.openBox('hiveusersfolder');
    box.put('name', 'MyName');
    print('Name: ${box.get('MyName')}');
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>The above code is present in my main.dart file</p>
  <p>I am using Android Studio on Ubuntu.</p>
  <p>*Edit update</p>
  <p>I have located the supposed path of where the Box is stored, but when using Android Studio Navigate &gt; Search Everywhere - there is nothing found within this folder/path. After initialising my database and adding a user to the box, I should be able to see a box file and view the users like with any other kind of db no?</p>
  <p>This is the path /data/user/0/myappv1.myappv1/app_flutter</p>
  <p>I tried Invalidate Cache + Restart, but still nothing</p>
  <p>If the problem is with Android Studio search, how can I access the above path on Ubuntu file explorer? Or using the command line?</p>
