Access Internal Storage folders on Android device?

[Kelvin Chua]

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to access folders created within the Internal Storage area?

I would like to simply write into the device's Internal Storage from Windows network, updating the deliveries from Windows application into a sqlite database located within Internal Storage folder /dailydeliveries/system.data.

Possible?

Thanks.

Hi Kelvin,
Can you drag and drop a file into this Internal Storage area dailydeliveries/system.data?
If so then you can.

Hi Simon,

Yes, I dragged and dropped the system.data into the /dailydeliveries/ folder.

But... unable to read the system.data with all possible specialFolderPath("/mnt/sdcard/dailydeliveries/") & "/System.data"...

What should I place under specialFolderPath?

Thanks.

There is no specialFolderPath("/mnt/sdcard/dailydeliveries/")
From the dictionary;

For Android systems:
• engine - The (virtual) path to the engine and its assets.
• documents - The path to a folder that can be used for per-application data files.
• cache - The path to a folder that can be used for transient per-application data files.

So remove specialFolderPath

EDIT; And you should say when you are working on mobile and not using the Android or iOS forums.

Hi Simon,

OK, now I can create, read and write onto the Internal Storage folders.

Using Astro, I can see the System.data created.

But... when accessing the device with Windows explorer, only .APK files are displayed.

If I were to change the System.data to System.apk, it is also displayed.

Wonder what have I missed.

Thanks again.
