delete-file

I am making an app in which I have to delete the recently added mp3 file in sdcard. The format in which the song is saved is: Songhello_17_26.amr where 17_26 is the time when song was added. Can anyone help me how delete the recently added file in sdcard. I mean to say that I want to delete the time means the latest added file should get deleted. Any help will be appreciated. Mohammed Azharuddin Shaikh As it states here , you cant do that directly, you first need to get list of files File.listFiles() , Comparator , File.lastModified() , Arrays.sort() and delete. Edited: File f = new File(path)

I have the following Java code which iterates through all the files in a directory and deletes them. for(File file : tmpDir.listFiles()) { file.delete(); } It does however not delete all files. Some, usually 20-30, out of a couple of thousand, are left behind when I do this. Is it possible to fix this, or have I stumbled upon some Java voodoo that is best left alone? It returns a boolean value, you should check that. From the JavaDoc : Returns: true if and only if the file or directory is successfully deleted; false otherwise You should check the value of the return and take action. If it

I wrote recursive PHP function for folder deletion. I wonder, how do I modify this function to delete all files and folders in webhosting, excluding given array of files and folder names (for ex. cgi-bin, .htaccess)? BTW to use this function to totally remove a directory calling like this recursive_remove_directory('path/to/directory/to/delete'); to use this function to empty a directory calling like this: recursive_remove_directory('path/to/full_directory',TRUE); Now the function is function recursive_remove_directory($directory, $empty=FALSE) { // if the path has a slash at the end we remove

I am currently facing some problem with a FileOutputStream in my Java code. Actually I am using a FileOutputStream for creating a file, but then once the file is created there is no way for deleting it. As far as I could understand, this may come from the fact that the FileOutputstream is not closed. On below my summarized code : outFile = new FileOutputStream(dir+"\\"+fileName); outFile.write("Test"); outFile.flush(); outFile.close(); outFile = null; System.gc(); Then there is no way to delete the file, even "by hand". When my program is launched, I can't delete it on windows by a simple del.

I'm trying to delete an audio file in the SD-card but I'm not successful public boolean delete(String path) { return new File(path).delete(); } While going through posts I came across Storage Access Framework but unable to understand. Is it required for deleting files from SD-card? Moreover Can I only use Content Resolver to delete Files Like this? getContenResolver().delete(uri,null,null); Or is there any other method for deleting Audio? My app is well elevated with Write permission and Read permission and I am testing on Marshmallow 6.0 Please answer. Thanks in advance. You need to ensure
