Note:
File organization, and navigation within the file structure, varies from one Android platform to another. Therefore, you may need to try more than one approach when searching for the controller list file.
- You can use a file navigation utility on the mobile device, for example File Explorer, to perform a search for the folder name.
- You can follow the path you previously saved to the clipboard. To do this, start a file navigation utility on the mobile device, for example File Explorer, paste the path text into the search box, and then execute the search.
You can copy the controller list file to another location on the mobile device. This file contains comma-separated values, and can be opened as a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel.
