[android-developers] Re: Why File.mkdirs() can not succeed?
Please don't hard-code that path and use the appropriate API in Context instead, so that your app continues to work if/when that path changes.

We're using it to make directories on the SD card with no trouble. Can you make those directories by hand via the adb shell ?

[android-developers] Re: Why File.mkdirs() can not succeed?
Sorry, you can create something in /data/data/package.of.your.app/. Basing on what I see in abd shell, owner of /data/ directory is system and a group is system. Moreover, there's no permission to read/ write for others, so you can't create something there. /data/data/ has the same properties. Only in /data/data/package.of.your.app/ is writable to apps.

I know that you can create files/directories in /data/ package.of.your.app/ but I'm not sure if you can create something in / data. Check permissions by using adb shell or by using some method in File class.

[android-developers] Re: Why File.mkdirs() can not succeed?
You won't be able to create a directory or any files in /data. Besides that's the phone memory. You probably want to do this on the SD card instead. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
