Hi folks. I'm trying to manage the files that I store in a local cache. I download files, then delete them after the total file size in the cache exceeds a certain number of bytes. What I'm shooting for right now is something simple: setting the max cache size to be 1 MB, or 1*1024*1024 bytes = 1048576 bytes. I have a method that gets the cache directory, then does a listFiles() on that File to get all children of the directory. I have a flat cache structure, no subdirectories, so simply calling f.length() on every child should give me my total cache size right?
Well what I'm finding is that the amount I count is about 0.9 of size reported in Manage Applications > Application Info for my app, in the Cache section. Am I making a bad assumption that File.length() will actually return to me the size, in bytes, of a file on disk? I also wonder also if disk space in the Cache directory is being used by Android at all for some reason I'm unaware of. Any advice is good advice!
