Like u recommended, i posted my query at android porting ,however,
So far i didnt get to hear from anyone,,so ,, i m still struggling
alone.....
Now i am trying to open the virtual file at bootup and reload it with
the byte stream..... However I am only able to open the virtual file
for reading and not for writing.... I think i need to change the
permissions..... How do i do that ?? Can anyone help??????
**************************************************************
The reading code is as follows: // NO BREAKAGE
byte[] buffer1 = new byte[100];
BufferedReader reader = null;
try{
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader
("/sys/class/lightsensor/
switch_cmd/lightsensor_file_cmd"));
Log.d(TAG,"Opened the SAVED virtual file");
}catch(IOException e){
Log.d(TAG,"Problem opening the SAVED virtual file");
}
try{
Log.d(TAG, "Buffer read from virtual file
="+reader.readLine());
Log.d(TAG,"Read the SAVED virtual file");
reader.close();
}catch(IOException e){
Log.d(TAG,"Problem reading the SAVED virtual file");
}
*************************************************
for writing i use the following code: // BREAKAGE WHILE OPENING THE
FILE???????
byte[] buffer = new byte[100];
buffer[0] = '1';
OutputStream out = null;
try{
Log.d(TAG, "OPENING the virtual file");
out = new FileOutputStream(new File("/sys/class/
lightsensor/switch_cmd/lightsensor_file_cmd"));
}catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
Log.d(TAG,"Problem in Opening the virtual file for
writing"); //
THIS LOG IS DISPLAYED
}
try {
Log.d(TAG, "WRITING -> Virtual file");
out.write(buffer);
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
Log.d(TAG,"Problem in Writing in the Virtual file");
}
