I have this code:
CODE:...............
On the marked line of file.createNewFile();
I get java.io.IOException: Parent directory of file is not writable: /sdcard/log.db
I have an sdcard installed and I can easily copy files to it. What might be wrong?

At some points while running my android application, I need to create a directory on the sd card, for a small number of users this fails and I can't figure out the reason for it... (I've found similar problems caused by the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission missing, it's there and it works for almost all users so I don't think this is reason) When mkdirs returns false I crash the program and log the following java.io.File properties, starting at the directory I want to create, then recursive printing properties of the parent directory and so on...
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1/Dir2 (exists: false, canWrite: false, isDirectory: false, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory/Dir1 (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard/MyDirectory (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/sdcard (exists: true, canWrite: true, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
/ (exists: true, canWrite: false, isDirectory: true, isFile: false);
The strange thing is that the parent directory is writable (canWrite=true), I can't print the execute file permission but from what I've read, write is what you need when creating directories... What I've looked at so far is the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, if the sd card is full and if the sdcard is mounted read only:...........................
When I saved a file or open a dir under sdcard dir, it always complains:"Parent directory of file is not writable: /sdcard/myfile, java.io.IOException: Parent directory of file is not writable" Any idea what's wrong?

I attempted to import my contacts from my old HTC Touch Pro phone by using an application to export them to a .csv file, then importing them into a gmail account. That part all worked fine. However, when I linked the gmail account and synced up the contact information, there are a couple of problems. First and most important, its not bringing over all of the information. It brought over the contact name, but when you tap on the name, it only shows a gmail link and none of the other information. Second, gmail is using only the first name for the full contact. example: the contact it titled 'George' instead of the person's full name like "Butler, George'. How can I fix these two issues?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using following to code to create a directory
private static final String TRIAL_DIR_NME="trial";
File dir = getDir(TRIAL_DIR_NME, MODE_PRIVATE);
Now I want to create a custom file inside this directory. Basically I want to write "trial start date" for app and then compare that date to determine if trial period has expired.
Is it possible for the App to create a new file/asset and write this into the /assets directory. The reason being, that's the only way I can tell webkit will load a local file/resource.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am new to Android and creating my first application.I want to create a file in the current directory. Basically I have a file bundled with aplication package as raw resource. I want to make a copy of this file in the current file. The reason to create copy in current directory is that I want my file reading code in native java, portable code.So my query is how can I create a file on current directory? The location current directory is important here as I do not want to make use of device specific hardcoded path or any Android API while reading the file. This is so I want my file reading code portable.

I have written a test case to implement a conference contact management system with Content Provider and SQLite. The launch activity is a Listactivity and the customized provider is extended from ContentProvider, u know, actually the sample is so similar to the Notepad Sample in the official SDK packages.

View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I run this code, it starts playing all the audio files in the assets directory, in alphabetical order instead of just playing the audio file I requested. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to play audio files from the assets directory?Is there a difference between keeping audio files in the assets directory and keeping them in the res/raw directory? Besides the fact that they don't get ids if they are in the assets directory. If I move the audio files to the res/raw folder then I have a problem with reusing MediaPlayers because there is no id parameter for setDataSource(). I can't find a good guideline for handling this kind of problem.
