[android-developers] Re: Is /cache supposed to be accessible?

2009-03-18 Thread BoD

Well ok then :)

Actually I was also wondering if there was an API somewhere that I
didn't see in the framework to ask for a file download or is the
normal way to do that is to do it manually (using HttpClient or
URL.openConnection and all that jazz).

Thanks a lot!

  Hi!

  Environment.getDownloadCacheDirectory() (that returns /cache).

  But apparently it is not accessible, (a FileNotFoundException is
  thrown).

  Is this normal?

  Thanks!

Right now the download manager (which happens to own /cache) is not
exposed to applications, so you have to do your downloads manually.
