title: Accessing 'data/internal_memory' on Android phone
body: <p>Hi I bought a cheap Android phone to do app debugging on, and I would like to know how to access the internal memory folder, which is rejecting my advances.</p>
  
  <p>When I first got the phone I downloaded some pictures from the internet using the browser. I also took a photo with the camera. They were stored in internal memory because I had not installed a SD card.</p>
  
  <p>Then I installed an SD card, and downloaded some more images with the browser, which were stored on the SD card. Now when I look in the gallery there are different folders for the images on the SD card and the ones in internal memory.</p>
  
  <p>I am writing a C# application using Xamarin to browse the pictures, but when I try to reach /data/internal_memory, I receive a permissions error. I can however access the folder using a file manager app (Easy Files Finder). I assume that this is because Easy Files Finder made me accept various permission exceptions before installation.</p>
  
  <p>What do I have to do in my application to give me read access to the internal storage? Thanks for any advice!</p>
