Ok, I think I've discovered what's the problem is. My bad knowledge of android :(
Tests have been done on a device which has not a real SD card. I'm a bit confused on how android defines spaces where apps can write into it (local and external). I need to investigate more. Any help is appreciate on explaining which options are available for an android app on "where I can write files" On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 8:54 PM, Francesco Colombo < [email protected]> wrote: > Further investigations denotes that > using*Enviornment.ExternalStorageDirectory.Path > *on jellybean return as folder */storage *in place of */mnt/sdcard. *Is > it right? > > > On Sat, Sep 15, 2012 at 6:23 PM, Francesco Colombo < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm developing an app which on the first run it will download a big file >> from FTP.
