How to check Android 5.1.1 timestamps?
by maybeJosiah from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HX9A)
I know File class in Android only supports last modified. I checked with a terminal on an Android 13 device and Android actually has accessed at, modified at, and changed at. I installed a terminal on like my old Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and found it does not have stat which is what I would need for this. How can I get things with timestamps as I could use on another device? How can I check if that Android even has all those timestamps? I know I can make a .ab file from like my device but does that store everything? If it does, can I unzip it or is it basically useless except as a restore on that device? I also have data on SD card on this phone. I would rather not upgrade Android and risk losing data. What can I do? I am trying for files off that device in human understandable format with all that can be preserved. I think one of like my computers has an SD card reader but for such an old phone, unsure. I have Android Studio and know how to use it if needed. This device is unrooted with locked bootloader and developer options enabled. I use it as a phone still. X E.
