Can anybody advice what is the recommended directory to store files generated by your application: audio files, video files or some images.
If the phone contains SD card, it is clear that files should be saved there, but if there is no any external storage. where would you recommend to save to?

I've created an application which uses around 15 small audio files. Right now I'm using mp3 files and each is around 200KB. These files are stored in my res/raw directory. I'm using SoundPool class to play the files in my application. I'm hoping to put this application on the android market place. Can one of you suggest what is the best way to store so many audio files? Will my application be scalable? Is wav or ogg format better approach instead of mp3? Please let me know.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI try to create 'foo/bar.txt' in Android's /data/data/pkg/files directory.
It seems to be a contradiction in docs:
To write to a file, call Context.openFileOutput() with the name and path.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#files
The name of the file to open; can not contain path separators.
[url]
And when I call
this.openFileOutput("foo/bar.txt", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File foo/bar.txt contains a path separator
So how do I create file in subfolder?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFriends, My application has to get current gps position in every seconds and write this data as byte array to a file in files directory. To check the data in that file I tried to open mnually. But i couldn't open. How can i read the file. The file is a text file
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a project written for Android devices. It generates a large number of files, each day. These are all text files and images. The app uses a database to reference these files.
The app is supposed to clear up these files after a little use (perhaps after a few days), but this process may or may not be working. This is not the subject of this question.
Due to a historic accident, the organization of the files are somewhat naive: everything is in the same directory; a .hidden directory which contains a zero byte .nomedia file to prevent the MediaScanner indexing it.
Today, I am seeing an error reported:
CODE:................
Regarding the sdcard, I see it has plenty of storage left, but counting
$ cd /Volumes/NO_NAME/.hidden
$ ls | wc -w
9058
Deleting a number of files seems to have allowed the file creation for today to proceed.
Regrettably, I did not try touching a new file to try and reproduce the error on a commandline; I also deleted several hundred files rather than a handful.
However, my question is: Are there hard limits on filesize or number of files in a directory?
am I even on the right track here?
Nota Bene: The SD card is as-is - i.e. I haven't formatted it, so I would guess it would be a FAT-* format.
The FAT-32 format has hard limits of filesize of 2GB (well above the filesizes I am dealing with) and a limit of number of files in the root directory. I am definitely not writing files in the root directory.
i am updating an app i developed so that it downloads xml files it needs for content management. the files download successfully to the emulator but are not placed in the /files directory that openFileInput() is attempting to read from. i am admittedly unsure as to the proper overall solution here - app originally used packaged XML and was fed to an XMLPullParser - but i cant even get as far as attempting to parse new XML at present because my app cant find the new file sitting in /data/data/[myApp]/ and not /data/data/ [myApp]/files and i cant figure out how to get it in there. the download doesnt work at all if i add that folder to path.e.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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've thought of starting to develop an application and one of its features is that it downloads some content (images, files, etc) and organize them into folders in accordance with site they were downloaded.
Well, the question is... How do Android organize your files? In Windows, for example, I could create some folders, one for each site, or one for each time period. But in Android, how does it work? Is there a system of folders like Windows? Or is there a totally different way to organize files?
Can an android project in Eclipse be configured so that the built-in builders read from an alternative source directory? ie. "test/src" instead of "src"? and possibly even "test/res" instead of "res"? (It appears that setting dirs in the property files will only affect ant and not the built-in builders)
