[Android] stderrdae.txt, stdoutdae.old, stdoutdae.txt should be available for users

Either move this file to public folder that could be easily readable by user or add some mechanism to copy these files (or theirs content) from the UI

Other log files in the directory under Android are stderrgpudetect.txt and stdoutgpudetetc.txt

Maybe this could be helpful in future but currently there is no any project that could run on mobile GPU. I agree, it's worth to add these files to the list above

  1. I think long term plan should look back into using internal shared storage (NOT the SD card) for storing user editable config files and user readable log files, while executable and misc files downloaded from projects are left protected from user intervention. #1599

  2. Termux does a good job providing an interface for native Android file explorer to browse its internal files without root. Granted it is not user writable at all.

This will require a lot of effort to provide Android-specific file locations. And correct me if I wrong, but manual file edit is not an Android way. I'd rather provide some UI to manipulate values in config file

I'm closing this as non-relevent: in general users on Android should not have access to these files (as it is now). This information could be retrieved from the log window.
