file.createNewFile();
I get the following exception
java.io.IOException: Parent directory of file does not exist: /.../pkg/databases/mydb
I am wondering is there a createNewFile that creates the missing parent directories?
I need to generate a changelog of sorts between two Tags within a project controlled using git. Specifically the android source code. This list should include any files/directories/etc which have been edited, moved, renamed, deleted, created. and if you have a way to do this over the entire android source at once... even better.

ie there is a sub-directory by name "text" inside the "/data/data/packagename/files/" directory.
I want to use the openFileOutput (String name, int mode) method to write a file eg:sample.txt into this directory....Is it possible to use openFileOutput method to do it....
I see that as of API Level 8, you can request a handle to special directories with Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory. This takes a type such as DIRECTORY_MUSIC, DIRECTORY_PICTURES, etc.
I'm looking for an equivalent directory for other media types such as documents (Word docs, PDFs, etc.). My HTC Desire has a "/sdcard/My Documents/" folder which looks like exactly what I want, but it has no DIRECTORY_ specifier for use with the above method. Is this a standard Android directory which I can rely on?
If I can't use getExternalStoragePublicDirectory, I have to use getExternalStorageDirectory instead which just points me to the root of the SD card. I can explicitly check for the presence of "My Documents" under the root and use it if it's there.
This is what I have:

Is there a better way?

Is there a program for the Android OS that allows to to access your files and directories, like 'Windows Explorer' does on your desktop pc? I have some audio files that I would like to move to the ringtone directory.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have images uploaded on the simulated sdcard on my emulator. I downloaded them from the browser, using the long-click on each image.
When I look at the file explorer in the DDMS perspective, I see that they are in the directory sdcard/download.
Now if I want to download some audio files and use them in an app to, say list the title of all audio files, will they go in the same directory? (I am trying to push the audio files manually from my computer to the emulator).
This doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the media files of different types (pictures, audio, video) go into different directories?
Also, thinking this through a little, how is something like this related to the physical directory on the sdcard?
Uri mMedia = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
If I upgrade my SD card from say 8 to 16 gigs... can I merely copy over the directories from my old card to my new one so that my apps still work the same? Are there any hidden files or directories I need to worry about?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm basically using the same method of loading bitmaps in OpenGL that the SpriteMethodTest example uses and have been unable to get rid of an annoying outline that appears around all of my images.
For example, If I were to load an image of a white circle on a white background, I would expect to see nothing. Instead, I would see my circle because its edge would be gray. In SpriteMethodTest, I replaced the background image with white and was able to see that the edges of the android images flying around also don't seem to be rendered correctly.
Does anyone know how to load images in OpenGL without having a thin outline appear around the images?
I have created a directory and even a file in that directory on the external storage, I am able to read and write into that but the problem is they are not visible on the emulator i.e, in the phone.
View 17 Replies View RelatedI'm storing my Android project in a Subversion repository. After recently shuffling a bunch of stuff around I started getting tons of errors like: syntax error entries/project_name/src/.svnline 1Android AIDL Problem syntax error don't know what to do with "" entries/project_name/src/.svnline 28Android AIDL Problem etc.
It seems as if Eclipse is trying to build the files in the .svn directories now. This setup used to work fine.
I've experienced a strange issue running applications on the HTC Desire.
When I call getApplicationContext().getCacheDir() or getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() from my activity this always returns null. In the emulator /data/data/com.myapp.android/cache respectively /data/data/com.myapp.android/files is returned.
Because of that I'm not able to use the webview class as it tries to create cache files and crashes with a null pointer exception. The logs:
CODE:..............
I noticed that other apps have issues as well. For example the google finance app logs the following message:
CODE:.............
Why I cannot create folders in this directory?
Is there a possibility to set the fileDir and cacheDir paths to the sd card or somewhere else? I looked at some classes like Context, Webview and CacheManager but I could not find a way to change it.
Do I need to set a permission to create cache files?
CODE:.............
I'm currently using the above code to create a folder which is used to temporarily store images that the app uses later. deleteDir is just a generic recursive file deletion to empty a directory. Is there a better way to do this than to delete everything? Ideally I just want a temp folder that empties when the application closes.
Is there a way to make apps not store settings in the SDcard or to have them all in a specific folder my card is looking kinda messy.

The problem is that if I have the following resource structure: drawable-hdpi/background.png drawable-hdpi/button.png drawable-mdpi/background.png drawable-mdpi/button.png drawable-ldpi/background.png drawable-ldpi/button.png and then I drop a new drawable-hdpi/background.9.png file into the mix, it breaks button.png during the pre-compile. The error is "No resource found that matches the given name (at 'background' with value '@drawable/button').Simply removing that one nine patch file fixes the build. Should I be able to have some nine patch images and some normal ones, or to have nine patch only in hdpi but not mdpi or ldpi? This is Eclipse 3.5.1 with the latest ADT.
How to programmatically move copy and delete files and directories on SD(android)
View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my HTC-03A, it has Android 1.6. I can't upgrade because Docomo won't let me.
Anyway, I thought the version would be relevant to my question.
It's a small issue, but in the default music player, when I look at the library, there are directories and play lists there which I have long since removed from the SD card. I also have 3 different play lists titled "podcasts", and I don't know how that happened.
I thought it might be the default music player at fault, so I downloaded Mixzing, but it showed the exact same playlists, empty and deleted ones and all.
So something on my Android is hanging on to old information somewhere.
Any idea where and how I can edit it so that I can clean up my play lists?
set up the proper directories on my SD card? I just formatted it, and presently all there is is DCIM and LOST.DIR.
Where do I put Music, ringtones, documents, voice notes, and stuff like that?
I recently got an SD card for my S4 and I wanted to transfer and keep all my files on it. No problem, within a couple of seconds, I got all of them moved. However, since I download a lot of images from the internet and other apps, can I change the download directory so I can directly download to the SD Card? I have to use Chrome for various reasons, so I can't switch browsers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOkay, this is what I want to do. Under Linux, it would be done via /etc/fstab, but Android has changed some things up.
Certain apps store files and other things on the internal SD card of the RAZR. For example, the Amazon MP3 Cloud player stores all downloaded music files to /sdcard/amazonmp3. There is no way to change this. However, I store all my music on my external SD card. So, what I want to do is create a mount point on the internal sdcard for the /sdcard/amazonmp3 directory that points to a directory on my external sd card (/sdcard-ext/amazonmp3).
That way, when I download music, it will still attempt to save it to /sdcard/amazonmp3 which really is a mount point that points to /sdcard-ext/amazonmp3.
Now, there is an app called FoldersPlug which does this. However, it's not doing it across reboots and it's a little buggy in how it works. I'd rather just fix the /etc/vold.fstab file (if that's possible) to mount my directories for me, but I don't completely understand all the needs to be set up in it.
If I have the following directories set up:
/sdcard/amazonmp3 (this will be empty)
/sdcard-ext/amazonmp3 (this will contain all the files and folder structures that would normally be in /sdcard/amazonmp3)
I want it so that the /sdcard-ext/amazonmp3 directory is mounted to the /sdcard/amazonmp3 directory.
Here is what I see when I run the "mount" command to look at the current mount points that are mounted:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/sdcard/amazonmp3 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
