I m using Android 1.5 my data directory does'nt have the read/write permissions
System.out.println("DAta can write??--->"+Environment.getDataDirectory().canWrite());
System.out.println("DAta can read??--->"+Environment.getDataDirectory().canRead());
So please suggest me how to provide permission for the data directory.
What m trying to do is to create a file and add some content to it iin the Data storage of the emulator like as below
private void writeToSDCard() {
try {
File lroot = Environment.getDataDirectory();
if (lroot.canWrite()){
File lfile = new File(lroot, "samplefile.txt");
FileWriter lfilewriter = new FileWriter(lfile);
BufferedWriter lout = new BufferedWriter(lfilewriter);
lout.write("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
lout.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(m_cTAG, "Could not write file " + e.getMessage());
}
}

I have an application that can read and write txt files to the phones sdcard. By using this code for reading files:
@Override protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) { super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id); mFileNameOpen = files.get(position);
String st = null; mVector.clear();
notepad.mNewEmpty = false; try { File f = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/ notepad/"+mFileNameOpen); FileInputStream fileIS = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fileIS));
do { st = in.readLine();
mVector.add(st);
}while(st!=null); in.close(); ...
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) e.printStackTrace();
and this to write them:
try { File root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File fileCheck = new File(root, "/notepad/" + fileNameSave + saveExtension);
boolean exists = fileCheck.exists();
if (!exists) { if (root.canWrite()) { File textFile = new File(root, "/notepad/" + fileNameSave + saveExtension);
FileWriter textWriter = new FileWriter(textFile);
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(textWriter);
out.write(SAVEAS); out.close(); written = true;
} else { written = false; else { written = true; showMaybe = 1; showDialog(DIALOG_SAVE_EXISTS);
catch (IOException e) {Log.v(getString(R.string.app_name), e.getMessage());
This has been working fine on my Tattoo and all the emulators I've tried this on. But it does not seem to be working on moto droid. Is there something different to consider with moto droid? Or have I missed something in the manifest maybe?

How do I create a shared directory with read/write permissions to all applications installed on my phone and that is not on the sdcard?
I tried that :
File f = new File("/tmp");
f.mkdir();
but it is not working.

I replaced my original sdcard with a sandisk 16gb card. Everything went well until I started getting these blasted read on errors. Earlymon suggested a fix from another board but I don't have a stand alone card reader so I couldn't do it that way.
I was wondering if I just backed up all my stuff from my sdcard to my iMac and then just reformatted my sdcard via the phone, would that solve my problems?

I wrote a file to the sdcard, but it failed as follow:String sdcardFIle = "/sdcard/xxx.txt" FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput (sdcardFile, Context. MODE_ WORLD_ WRITABLE ) ; openFileOutput failed, because fIle "/sdcard/xxx.txt" contains a path seperator. It is so strange. Is there another way to handle the situation?

I'm trying to save a file in a subdirectory in Android 1.5.I get a exception saying I can't have directory separator in a file name ("/"). I'm missing something of working with files in Android..I thought I could use the standard Java classes but they don't seem to work.I searched the Android documentation but I couldn't fine example and google is not helping me too.I'm asking the wrong question (to google).

Is there a way to map the sdcard (/sdcard) to a drive letter or directory on a windows box? i can always do "adb pull /sdcard sdcard" but that can take a while if you've got a lot of stuff on there...

I need to be able to write textfiles to the root directory of my Android device (as this related questions explains).
Can I change write permissions for root directory / and if so, how?
I tried pushing a file using adb, but it said file system was read-only
Its pretty annoying that I cannot control my own device, that everything is so restricted
EDIT 1:
This thread has evolved into discussing Sygic Navigation and their API, which seems to be wrong when it comes to the Android platform. I have some other questions that discuss Sygic and their navigation software.

I currently have a live wallpaper that is animated and works. However, I am trying to update the code and add in some lines which will save a file from a webpage and then read it. After reading it, the wallpaper would change its behavior. Anyways, I am having problems just saving the actual file, I know the code works because I have used the same code in previous applications. Are you just not able to write to the SDcard in a live wallpaper?

I'd like to know if there's a way to write files into the main directory just before the system shutdown, something like this:
End all processes (-> unmount disks?) -> mount /sdcard rw and / rw -> copy files from /sdcard to / -> unmount disks -> shutdown/reboot
Same with boot image (flash, in this case, and not copy / mod files)... is it possible? Or do I require to boot into recovery for these operations? I know I can remount as rw my system directory via ADB
Also, is it possible to do the same thing with the build.prop file? This, or during startup (before mounting partitions with standard permissions).
Of course, this having root (but not a special kernel to enable this kind of "before mounting" thing).

I followed steps 1-3 in the Rooting & Romming for Beginners thread. Everything seemed to go well. I believe I am rooted, and have successfully flashed ClockworkMod Recovery onto my phone. Was in the process of trying to download a new ROM when I noticed that I kept getting error messages that my download directory didn't exist. Then tried to look into my sdcard directory, and it says "empty."

I need to write a fairly simple .csv file to the device's sdcard (so it can then be emailed via Intent). The below code does not write the file.
CODE:...........
More code here:
I flush and close out_stream. I can even seem to be able to read from the file on the device (printing above output, using fileinputstream, to an edittext.
How can I get to this file on the sdcard?

When I run the code bellow in the virtual android (1.5) it works well, TextSwitcher shows first 80 chars from each txt file from /sdcard/documents/ , but when I run it on my Samsung Galaxy i7500 (1.6) there are no contents in TextSwitcher, however in LogCat there are FileNames of txt files.
My Code:...................
And I am able to write contents of those files though LogCat!

I'll open with, I googled this thing like crazy, searched anddev and a few other boards (including this one) and can't quite find what I'm looking for.
The predicament : all CSV examples are in reference to contacts, and the file read/write posts (the ones that I need) make the assumption that I am not a beginner and most don't even post any code leaving me nothing to learn on.
The hopeful solution : a link to a solid example of simply how to write to a CSV with my own custom fields and values, and how to read a CSV and load said values.

Sometimes in LogCat I'll see Wrote stack trace to '/data/anr/traces.txt'
But when using the DDMS perspective, "File Explorer" View, I can't see anything in the "data" directory, I'm assuming because permission denied. Is there a way (short of rooting my ion device) to read what's in that text file?
Is there perhaps an android app for developers that will show the contents of the file? It would seem there would have to be some way of reading the file without rooting the device, otherwise why does the o.s. write it out? How can I read this file?
