Hi All,
This is my code that successfully creates both the directory tree and
the file "myFile.txt", and yet throws a FileNotFoundException when I
try to call new FileOutputStream(file):
File file = new File("/sdcard/zackcorp/myfiles", "myFile.txt");
file.mkdirs(); // creates /sdcard/zackcorp/myfiles
file.createNewFile();
boolean canWrite = file.canWrite(); // canWrite is true
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
My theory is that it's not possible to create a FileOutputStream with
an sdcard file (or perhaps anywhere else besides within my package),
because when I change the directory to point to my package's sandbox,
the FileOutputStream is successfully made.
File file = new File("/data/data/com.zackcorp.android/myfiles",
"myFile.txt");
file.mkdirs(); // creates /data/data/com.zackcorp.android/myfiles
file.createNewFile();
boolean canWrite = file.canWrite(); // canWrite is true
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file); // THIS time it
works
Could anyone tell me what I have to do to open a FileOutputStream on a
file on an sdcard? Or which AndroidManifest permission I could set to
fix this? Thanks very much!
