But it is slow, so, I tried to use oldFile.Rename(newFile), but it always return false. Any idea? The reason I am doing this is to hide some files from my sdcard, so, nobody can see them.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate. Seems like a nice phone. Every phone I've had in the past (Nokia, Sony, etc...) has always allowed me to hide my number so that the call display on the receiver's phone shows my call as 'private'. This is useful for when you don't want certain people to have your number when you call. Is there a way to do this on the Galaxy S? I couldn't seem to find any setting how.

I have lil brothers and nephews who I don't mind playing games or watching movies on my phone; but I don't want them getting into certain "adult" apps or my fake call and sms apps. I believe it's possible to do b/c there's an app called Call Log (Secret Monitor) that has in its description "No icon in the list of applications. Completely hidden at you eyes". I downloaded it just to check and it really doesn't appear in the menu. So does anyone know how to do it for any app that we choose?

I am not able to view SDCard folder in FileExplorer of DDMS in Android.
But I was able to view SDCard folder when I used adb command from command prompt like below:
androidsdk ools>adb shell
$ ls
I am able to view list of folders when I typed ls in which I can see sdcard folder from the list of folders .my doubt how can we view the sdCard option in Eclipse using FileExplorer.Also I want I want to delete or insert some files in sdcard.How can this be possible for me.can anyone hel me in sorting out this issue.
have created a folder in SdCard using a code below:
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)) {
// We can read and write the media
log.v("Storage","ablo to read and write");
//create Beatss folder
File direct = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Beatss");
boolean success = true;
if (!direct.exists()) {
success = direct.mkdir();
}
I can see that this folder has been created through DDMS. When I connect phone via USB to computer and explore the sdCard i dont see this folder. However, as I mentioned I can see it via DDMS. What is wrong?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOk I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I have an application that needs to read images from a folder created by the application on the sdcard. I have no idea what the names of the files are because the user specifies the names of the files. I need to read the images from the folder and make something like the default image viewer, where you can share them delete them and things like that. Im thinking read them into a grid view first but 1) cant figure out how to dynamically read them from a folder 2) how would I implement the image options like the default viewer? If there was a way to open the default viewer on a certain folder that would help.
Anyways any input would be amazing been working on it for a while.
I want to make application in which i want to use camera as after the image is captured, i want to store that image in SDCard and display that image in Screen too.

I have been unable to do anything permanent to my sd-card. I was on my vacation so all my vacation photos were deleted. It is writable, I can delete, write and change as I want but when it's rescanned all changes (delete, write etc...) were never made and it sets itself back to the 23rd. Now I have access to my computer so I formatted the sdcard hoping it would fix it. After I put it in my phone all files popped back up. So my case is:I cannot make any permanent writes/changes to it.
Formatting doesn't seem to work. Once again, it is writable (Temporarily), i took a photo and pushed it into the /system partition, it was there but not on the sdcard after reboot. Root explorer have options for mounting it R/w and R/O (It doesn't normally do that).
When I make a backup and it goes to my SD card to the folder "TitaniumBackup" is it safe to transfer that folder to my computer and delete it from my SD card?

I'm currently developing my own Android widgets. To help me in future projects and speed up my developments, I've been trying to create a private jar that contains all those widgets (that extend from Android classes such as View or ViewGroup). To do that, I created a project and included all files (.Java and resources) in this project. I exported this as a jar file. To test this jar file I created a new project and tried to include my widgets using an XML layout. Unfortunately, it seems that the system does not "see" my resources. Looking at the Android source code, I noticed that android.jar contains its own resources so I assume this is possible.
I'm sure I've done something wrong...but what? What is the problem? And how to solve it?
