Is there a program for the Android OS that allows to to access your files and directories, like 'Windows Explorer' does on your desktop pc? I have some audio files that I would like to move to the ringtone directory.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have images uploaded on the simulated sdcard on my emulator. I downloaded them from the browser, using the long-click on each image.
When I look at the file explorer in the DDMS perspective, I see that they are in the directory sdcard/download.
Now if I want to download some audio files and use them in an app to, say list the title of all audio files, will they go in the same directory? (I am trying to push the audio files manually from my computer to the emulator).
This doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the media files of different types (pictures, audio, video) go into different directories?
Also, thinking this through a little, how is something like this related to the physical directory on the sdcard?
Uri mMedia = android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
I have created a directory and even a file in that directory on the external storage, I am able to read and write into that but the problem is they are not visible on the emulator i.e, in the phone.

After recently shuffling a bunch of stuff around I started getting tons of errors like: syntax error entries/project_name/src/.svnline 1Android AIDL Problem syntax error don't know what to do with "" entries/project_name/src/.svnline 28Android AIDL Problem etc.
It seems as if Eclipse is trying to build the files in the .svn directories now. This setup used to work fine.
I've experienced a strange issue running applications on the HTC Desire.
When I call getApplicationContext().getCacheDir() or getApplicationContext().getFilesDir() from my activity this always returns null. In the emulator /data/data/com.myapp.android/cache respectively /data/data/com.myapp.android/files is returned.
Because of that I'm not able to use the webview class as it tries to create cache files and crashes with a null pointer exception. The logs:
CODE:..............
I noticed that other apps have issues as well. For example the google finance app logs the following message:
CODE:.............
Why I cannot create folders in this directory?
Is there a possibility to set the fileDir and cacheDir paths to the sd card or somewhere else? I looked at some classes like Context, Webview and CacheManager but I could not find a way to change it.
Do I need to set a permission to create cache files?
I need to generate a changelog of sorts between two Tags within a project controlled using git. Specifically the android source code. This list should include any files/directories/etc which have been edited, moved, renamed, deleted, created. and if you have a way to do this over the entire android source at once... even better.

I may opt to buy a larger 16GB card for my Dinc to replace the 2GB card that came with it that I've been using for weeks. Will it just be a matter of copying all the files and directories from the old card to a temp folder on my PC and then copying them back to the new card once installed in the phone? Don't want to lose what I already have on my 2GB card.

Now a strange thing is occurring. I installed an off market app, but I can only see its folder in Android's File Manager, not in Windows XP.
This is going to cause me serious problems because I need to transfer some files into that folder from my PC.
How can I access this App's folder in Win XP?

i want to move scroll of list to the bottom of list so that user could see last record in the listview.actually i am writing Chat module so for that purpose i need latest record at the bottom of list. can any one guide me how to achieve this?
I have an paid app currently selling in the market with its copy protection turned on. I'm thinking about turning this off in order to reduce the size of my app and allow the "move to sd card" function to work. I've read that, in the past, people were having issues when the dev switched the copy protection setting from off to on. Is this still an issue? If users are still having problems then I'll leave things as they are. I understand that copy protection isn't really helping and I should just leave it off, but since I've had it on through several updates now, I'd hate to cause my users grief by changing now.

We can delete package by following steps below: Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package", strPackageName, null);
Intent it = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, uri);
startActivity(it);
But in that way, Applications Manager's UI will display, my question is how to delete packages silently (without Applications Manager's UI showing).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been searching but I couldn't find any app that allows me to delete (either programatically or in an easier way than deleting them one by one) several folders (or the files in them) from my Samsung S3350 (Android 4.1.2). I found Autoremove, but it only works for the Download folder. Before you mention it, no, they are not cache files and a cache cleaner will not be useful for me (I've already have one).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI uploaded about 50 pictures from iPhoto (using a Mac) just to see what they looked like and then later formatted the Droid's SD card, so the pictures were no longer there.
Now, if I mount the Droid via USB and view the file structure there is a folder named /albumthumbs which contains 50 files, presumably for the 50 pictures a had on the SD card.
To me, these file, unless linking to actual photos stored on the SD card, take up extra space in the phone's memory (not worried about the SD card). I wonder if I can safely delete them (just the files...not the folder)?
