Restore app data from a copied 'com.company.appname' folder Before wiping my 2012 Nexus 7 I created an app backup using the Backup function of the Nexus Root Toolkit (v1.8.2). This produced a large .ab file.  

I want to restore a single app to the newly back-to-stock tablet.   

I extracted the .ab file to a TAR using Droid Explorer and from that extracted the particular 'com.company.appname' folder. I tried simply copying that into the sdcard/Android/data/ folder but the app doesn't see the data.  

Any ideas?

Very likely, you need to adb push them to the appropriate folder in your /data/ partition which is different than your /sdcard/ partition.
