In Android, it is simple to view the modified date and for any file or folder. Just about any decent file manager (such as Solid Explorer) includes this functionality.
But how do you view the creation date and time (aka timestamp) for a file or folder in Android?
Unfortunately, this is not possible when using Android's emulated filesystem. Android's emulated filesystem does not store the creation date of files or folders, so there is no way to retrieve this data, as it does not exist.
(Many thanks to Irfan Latif for confirming this, and to Izzy for clarifications.)
