Android :: Saving File On SDcard (Android Beginners No Longer Working)
Aug 17, 2010
Android Beginners is no longer working so I have to post this here. Here's is the case scenario that I would like to do, but I've been googling with no luck. There's text info that the user saved on the drive.
1. I want to open up a dialog, for the user with a listing of the file structure
2. The user can then choose where to save the file
3. Then I want to save the file there
Can anyone offer me simple code for step 1,2,3 that I can use?

I've got some code that downloads mp3s remotely over a streaming url connection... This all works fine but my problem is once the file is complete and I pull up the music app it's not there. A reboot of the phone and it now shows up... anyone know how to force this refresh to occur from without my code?

I need to create a protected file in android sdcard. I use file.setReadOnly(); bu it is not working. I don't know how to set a file readable, or how to protect an file from deleting, and the best solution would be to set it hidden.

I do not know what is cause of failing to create a new file on a sdcard of G1, the code is below:
File temp = File.createTempFile("test", ".temp", Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()); and the permission of sdcard is: d--rwxr-x.
Also fail if I try using the code below:
File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory (),"media.temp"); file.createNewFile();
Giving out about Parent directory of file is not writable.

My question is how to copy a file from sdcard to /data/misc/wifi directory? I am working on a configuration tool for wiki supporting wpa enterprise. The configured file wpa_supplicant.conf must be put in / data/misc/wifi in order to work. So how can I move the file from sdcard to there? Is there any function calls to request a superuser access?

I would be an intermediate level Java programmer (more of a hobbyist). I want to create an app for android that counts stats during a football game. This is roughly the functionality:
1.User presses buttons representing each type of stat e.g. #1 for score, #2 for lost possession of ball etc. (ideally it would be on a touchscreen phone and the user could use a stylus to touch buttons on the screen -by the way, would I have to program differently for a touchscreen? or is that a hardware thing?)
2. Each time a number is pressed, it's written to a text file on the phone or into a database (sqllite or whatever).
3. The text file can then be sent in a message to another android enabled phone.
Is it possible to test the existence of this text file on the android emulator? Is all this possible without being an advance Java programmer? Any guidance would be welcome and I realize this is a broad definition of the program.

I am developing a photoshop application for the G1 where you can apply different filters to your pictures stored in the pictures folder. So I use a gallery and a cursor to select the picture I want to manipulate, copy the picture to a bitmap so I can perform some filter operations and afterwards save the new bitmap as a new file to the phone. So I figured out that there are basically two options I have to save the image. One is to use the MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage() method, which generally would work, but I don't want a thumbnail to be created. The second option, which I actually use, is to use an OutputStrem.
import android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media; import android.content.ContentValues; import java.io.OutputStream;
// Save the name and description of an image in a ContentValues map. ContentValues values = new ContentValues(3);
values.put(Media.DISPLAY_NAME, "road_trip_1");
values.put(Media.DESCRIPTION, "Day 1, trip to Los Angeles");
values.put(Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
// Add a new record without the bitmap, but with the values just set.
// insert() returns the URI of the new record. Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
// Now get a handle to the file for that record, and save the data into it.
// Here, sourceBitmap is a Bitmap object representing the file to save to the database. try {
OutputStream outStream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream (uri);
sourceBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 50, outStream);
outStream.close(); } catch (Exception e){

I want to move some files from sdcard to /data/data/myapp/files folder, I can use OpenInputFile and OpenOutputFile and write to it, then delete the original one. 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.

When I try to push a 40MB file onto the sdcard adb hangs and the emulator freezes. Is there a file limitation that I am not aware of? I couldn't find anything on this. When I try the same with a smaller file it works without problems. I have configured the sdcard of the emulator device to have a size of 512MB and when I check with adb shell df I see that there is enough space.

Is it possible to access the filesystem of an sdcard image through something like Windows Explorer?
i.e. mount the sdcard as a drive or web folder or something. I have some xml files stored on my sdcard image which I frequently want to edit.
Ideally I would like to be able to edit these files directly using my fave xml editor (either through the filesystem or webdav).But is this possible?
If not, is the only alternative to pull the xml file from the sdcard to the dev machine filesystem, edit and the push it back?
