What's the best way to create a temporary file in Android? Can [File.createTempFile][1] be used? The documentation is very vague about it.

I used adb shell to see whats inside this tmp folder. And there was no such apk. So I renamed another, but the error stays which means, that he never really tries to delete this apk, right? The same code runs fine on the emulator and my Nexus One.

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.

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?
I would like to make a file browser that will do two things:

I was wondering if it were possible to dynamically create an XML layout file to be displayed to the user. The idea would be to be able to retrieve a layout file from a central server, which could display this dynamic, server driven GUI.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI copied song.mp3 to my project's assets directory and wrote this code:
private MediaPlayer mp;
Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/song.mp3");
mp=MediaPlayer.create(this, uri);
After running the create statement, the variable mp is null.
not sure how to inflate this from my layout file: MyView v = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.myview, null); the inflater of course does not know what 'MyView' type is, and returns only View. What's a good way to reconcile this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am writing a content provider to access data in a zip file. The plan is to extract data as needed to temporary files since the API Requires a file descriptor (as opposed to an input stream). The question is where can an Android app write files - we can assume these are small and regularly purged. I do not believe the /sdcard is required.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to create a buffer for my application which needs to be big!I mean at least 1MB but most likely to be 4MB.Now definitely bad idea to actually allocate this much on a byte array in memory.So the options are put all the data in a file. So question is where do I place this temp file?
Option 1: Store to sdcard. Might be slow and not such a good idea for continuous read/writes?
Option 2: Store to in the apps cache.I read somewhere this is fast for read/ writes. But also read before issues cleaning up the cache after use? I guess I should as if I be able to create a file in cache and discard it when I don't need it? Any tips/look outs from using this methods would be greatly appreciated!
I run Android SDK and AVD Manager in Vista and have problems installing components. The installer downloads components successfully, but at the end of the installation it hangs for about minute and then asks to disable AV software. If I choose 'No', the installer stops with error message like: "Filed to rename directory '...' to '...' ". Thus, I have to unpack downloaded components and place them to proper folders manually. I have no AV software.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a programmatically generated image that I want to send as an attachment via the ACTION_SEND and EXTRA_STREAM method. But how do i do this? My first attempt (writing to my context.getCacheDir() based file path) appeared to work in the Gmail preview (no image preview, but attached file name and icon was visible), but the attachment never arrived on the recipient side. I guess this has something to do with permissions on the generated file, but how to avoid this? Do I need to set more permissive settings on these generated files (so that the Gmail activity can access)? Is that even possible for the app's cache folder?
Is there another file location that would be more suitable to write my files to? I considered the downloads folder, but think it would be an awkward location for something that only needs to exist until it has been emailed. I have even tried encoding my image purely in a data:image/png;base64,ABCD... style URI. This, too, showed up in Gmail preview (attachment icon, but no file name), but did not result in a recipient-side attachment. Has anyone been able to attach a one-shot generated image to an email intent by any means? What options may I have overlooked?
