[android-developers] Can I create a file in /data in android?

2010-10-07 Thread Lidia
Hello to all,

I am trying to create a file in /data but i think i don't have the
required permission for it:
File file = new File(data, myFile.tmp);
and i get java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/mopayUpdateFile.tmp


Is it possible to create a file in data, or somewhere else inside an
android phone, except sdcard?
Thanks
Lidia

Lidia,

You will find that application files live in /data/data  however try
avoiding hard coded locations like this.

Have a look at Context.getCacheDir(), Context.getFilesDir() and
Context.getDir(String name, int mode)
