I want to know how can we check the permissions on a folder? like the / data folder at android's root, if we create a file browser and click on it, it will show us nothing because we don't have permissions to view it's content as a user. so what i want to do is, i want to display a message to user that you can't see the content of this folder, or something like this.
There is canRead() function in java api, but it always returns true... I also tried listFiles().length because it returns 0 for "/data" folder. But if i create a new folder in sdcard and click on it first time then also listFiles().length will be 0 and user will see that you can not see the containts of this folder. I know i can check the path of the folder and check that whether it's path starts with sdcard or not and then do appropriate option. But does anybody have tried anything which directly tells you that the folder has files/folders in it but you don't have permissions. thanks, Payal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
