I am using following to code to create a directory
private static final String TRIAL_DIR_NME="trial";
File dir = getDir(TRIAL_DIR_NME, MODE_PRIVATE);
Now I want to create a custom file inside this directory. Basically I want to write "trial start date" for app and then compare that date to determine if trial period has expired.

I wrote a file to the sdcard, but it failed as follow:String sdcardFIle = "/sdcard/xxx.txt" FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput (sdcardFile, Context.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and creating my first application.I want to create a file in the current directory. Basically I have a file bundled with aplication package as raw resource. I want to make a copy of this file in the current file. The reason to create copy in current directory is that I want my file reading code in native java, portable code.So my query is how can I create a file on current directory? The location current directory is important here as I do not want to make use of device specific hardcoded path or any Android API while reading the file. This is so I want my file reading code portable.

This should be very simple, but I can't find the answer anywhere. How do I load an html file (which I assume I keep in res/raw folder) into a webview?
neither mWebView.loadUrl("file:///raw/about");

works.
What's the correct syntax or arrangement.
I have written a test case to implement a conference contact management system with Content Provider and SQLite.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I run this code, it starts playing all the audio files in the assets directory, in alphabetical order instead of just playing the audio file I requested. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to play audio files from the assets directory?Is there a difference between keeping audio files in the assets directory and keeping them in the res/raw directory? Besides the fact that they don't get ids if they are in the assets directory. If I move the audio files to the res/raw folder then I have a problem with reusing MediaPlayers because there is no id parameter for setDataSource(). I can't find a good guideline for handling this kind of problem.

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?

The native binary is working fine. But the problem cmoes out here. The function of the native binary is to read the file in the AFS and to copy it to another location.
But when I do the above steps. The native binary has been successfully loading to the AFS. After that when I try to execute the native binary. The file is get created with 0 size. The file permissions looks like below.

How can I create a XML file that has identation or, at least, line breaks between each tag? I'm using class XMLSerializer (available in Android) to handle the XML creation.
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer();
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
serializer.setOutput(writer);
String xmlFileContents = writer.toString();
Then I use the contents of xmlFileContents to create a file, using a BufferedWriter. The file is written, but the XML is not idented, and would like it to be.
So I decided that I didn't like the default messaging app, so I got rid of it for Handcent SMS. When I receive messages, I get a popup quick reply thing, but beyond that, when I go to look at the conversation view, I see only texts that I sent. I tried every setting I could find in my phone, and nothing seems to help. Also reinstalling the default app is not working.
"cannot stat mms.apk no such file or directory".
I have an Android app that saves a text file directly onto the phone, in the app's install directory. I need to allow the user to create a new email, attaching this saved text file. When I start the intent to send the email, everything shows up in Gmail correctly, but the attachment does not get sent. All of my searches on stack overflow seem to only deal with attaching an image file from the SD card. Below is the code that I used. Please let me know if I have done something incorrectly.
File myFile = new File(getFilesDir() + "/" + "someFile.txt");
FileOutputStream stream = null;
if( file != null )
steam = openFileOutput("someFile.txt", Context.MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
stream.write(some_data);
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(myFile);
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, email_text);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
file.close();
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Email:"));
I've also tried sendIntent.setType("application/octet-stream"); but that didn't make a difference. I'm at a loss for why the file doesn't attach and get sent.
I don't see anything about this change in the API differences report at http://developer.android.com/sdk/api_diff/8/changes.html. However when my Nexus One started running Android 2.2, the list of files created by the following code are now in reverse alphabetical order rather than alphabetical order (as they were with Android 2.1 and earlier, AFAIK):
CODE:.........
The line "Arrays.sort(fn);" revives the alphabetical order of the list, but sorts are computationally expensive and AFAIK the explicit call to Arrays.sort() was unnecessary prior to Android 2.2.
In addition to seeing this order change on the Nexus One, it can be confirmed on the emulator running level 7 and level 8 AVDs.
I have the default home page for the app, and let's say for example I start to type facebook. Under where I type it comes up with the usual predictions, like facebook login, facebook news, etc. But the top one is usually a link to the exact URL (in this case to facebook) but whenever I click one of those links, I get a page that says:
"Server Error
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
Is there anyway to get these links to work? Or get rid of them all together so I don't accidentally click them.

I would like to write a file to the SD card from my application, but the following code throws an IOException when debugged on a T-Mobile G1:
String p = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/log.txt"; File recfile = new File(p); recfile.createNewFile();
The last line throws an IOException with detailMessage = "Cannot create: /sdcard/log.txt". The MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS permission is set in the manifest. And yes, I really do want to write to the SD card; I don't want to use the logging features Android includes for this particular application. The Android documentation does not seem to give any specifics on how one might write files to removable storage in "Data Storage" under "Framework Topics". What am I doing wrong, or where can I read more about this topic?
