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.

Just a quick thank you to all the regulars who give up their time to populate these forums with some great advice that has made my first week of Hero ownership so much more fruitful. Now I wish to move a photo from one place to another folder using Astro and somewhere I'm losing the plot. I long press the photo, I then choose edit, then move......but then how do I actually move the photo/file to it's new location?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAs the database in my app grows, it is going to require more and more of the internal phone space. There isn't any sensitive/private data in the DB, so I'm interested in moving it to the SD card.
I'm using SQLiteOpenHelper to assist with the database work. It's my understanding that you can't use this for DB-access on the SD card as you can't define the DB path. However, there are some (very poor) examples on the Internet that suggest you can override this limitation. However I've never gotten one of those code samples to compile.
Is it possible? And if so--HOW! Please note that Froyo's "apps on SD card" feature won't work as it doesn't move internal files.
I have some new requirement. I have to write a video player which plays the content from the net.Some times the app downloads the video content, and this downloaded data should be private to only my app. No one should not access it.Simply saying providing security to my own content (though the content is taken from the sdcard, it should not be playable).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to rename an context private file created with openFileOutput() but I don't know how...
I tried that:
CODE:..................
This code throw FileNotFoundException but the documentation said "Open a private file associated with this Context's application package for writing. Creates the file if it doesn't already exist." so the new file should be created on disk.
The problem: When I try to read from the new renamed file I got FileNotFoundException!
There are many file sharing apps in market.
Which do you like or recommend for private file sharing over the internet?

First some objections:
1- The sdcard is used in vfat filesystem, move simplely /data folder to sdcard will be cause some problems
2- Copy /data to /mnt/sdcard/data will not work completly because we got some error of permission
Code:
adb shell
Code:
cp -r /data /mnt/sdcard
cp: can't create directory '/mnt/sdcard/data/misc/bluetoothd/FA:2B:B7:4E:90:59': Invalid argument

So first thing i change size of sdcard, decreasing the partition size, and add a second partition with 3 Gbytes using ext2. To do this
Unmount the sdcard in settings>storage>unmount sdcard. I need discover where is the partitions
Code:
fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0
[Code] ....
For secure i reboot device, and umount card again. So format the second partition
Code:
mke2fs -t ext2 -m0 -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
And reboot again. This was hopeful action that it would recognize the card. But not ...
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/sdext
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /mnt/sdext
mount: No such device

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've discovered what may be a bug in the "app2sd" feature of Android 2.2.I haven't been able to find any information about it using the usual searches.My app will create a home screen shortcut in the usual way. Inside its intent that to be launched is a few extras describing the action to take.One of the extras is a string array.Now apparently, if someone creates a shortcut with my app, then moves the app to the sdcard, Android will strip out the string array intent from the shortcut.Other extras are left intact.This of course renders the shortcut useless to the app since key data is missing.Moving the app back to the phone doesn't restore the missing data.If the app is already on the sdcard and a shortcut is then created, it's OK.But then if the app is moved back to the phone, the string array extra is stripped again.I'm just going to take a wild-ass guess and say that Android does something to an app's shortcuts when it gets moved to and from the sdcard (maybe re-constructing it?) but it's not copying the string array extras.Is there any merit to this guess?
