Save Files in the Android data folder

import RNFetchBlob from 'rn-fetch-blob'


    var path = RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.DocumentDir 
    RNFetchBlob
                    .config({ path: toFile })
                    .fetch('GET', fromUrl)
                    .then(res => {
                       
                    })
            });

Using the above code for downloading Files in the React native and working fine in the ios. But i am doing this in android and it is showing downloading but not found files in the directly. I want to save files in the (Android=>data=>com.appname) folder. But this code is not working to download it.

I tried DownloadDir that is working and saving files in the download folder. But i want to save it in the (Android=>data=>com.appname) folder. So not able to get that how it will work on it.

This example saves files at below path under MyApp Folder

/data/user/0/com.filesystem/files/MyApp/

Its not showing the content via external file manager due to android latest privacy policy (I think from Android 10 +) for that external file manager app have to take extra permission.

You can use below file manager to view files inside data folder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager
