Greetings,
Yes, I was talking about javax.activation.DataSource, which
seems to be consistent with what you are doing, but it does not seem to have
available in Android i think, so it could be an issue, also same for
FileTypeMap, thanks for the clarification.
Best regards,Carl

for an existing filesystem?
Hi Carl,
WRT DataSource, this is a JDBC interface, which does not seem appropriate
for a file system. Or do you mean javax.activation.DataSource. Apache
Commons VFS was started a long time ago and not adapted to newer JREs in
this area (obviously.)
