sd-card

When you use emulator your sqlite file is stored in a folder near your main application folder and you can download it. But this feature is not accessible in not rooted devices. How can I backup this existing sqlite file in SD Card programmatically ? I want to have a button in my application that stores this file in a special path in my SD Card. Is it possible? Thanks, You can try this, work for me, remember to get the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in your manifest: // Copy to sdcard for debug use public static void copyDatabase(Context c, String DATABASE_NAME) { String databasePath = c

I am trying to push a file to the SD Card but its showing error in console 'failed to push selection: Read-only file system'.I am using DDMS perspective in Eclipse.I generated sdcard using mksdcard command. Amel Jose Just go to C:\Documents and Settings\<adminstrator>\.android\avd take 'properties' of your avd folder (there is a folder for each of the avd's) uncheck 'Read only' -> OK This was the only thing that worked for me. P.S: Some of these folders might be hidden. On the Terminal or Command-Prompt , write these( for me its command prompt ): adb shell (Opens the device shell. you'll see a

I'm using code form this page: http://z4android.blogspot.com/2011/06/displaying-list-of-music-files-stored.html The code is working, but not soo good. When I'm trying to scroll down, the ListView keeps repeating the songs in the list. I have been looking for some alternative code, but I have not found any. Thanks for any help. I'm not entirely sure exactly what causes the problems you mention, but try this code. private MediaPlayer mMediaPlayer; private String[] mMusicList; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super

Background Android had a lot of changes as to how to handle the SD-card and storage in general: API 3 - you get all access, no permission needed API 4-15 - you need to use WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and you get all access. API 16-18 - if you wish only to read, use READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE API 19-20 - you can't read or write to secondary external storage (SD-card), unless your app is a system app, or you have root. API 21-22 - in order to access the SD-card, you need to ask the user for permission, and use the DocumentFile API instead of the File API. This raied a lot of questions, as I've written

How can this be written in its own class to be used over and over again? And where the comment line "//Loads the List" is, I need to be able to change that at runtime. Thnx ahead of time for the info. /** * -- Check to See if the SD Card is Mounted & Loads the Ordered List * ====================================================================== **/ private void storageState() { if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals( android.os.Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED)) { orderASC();// Loads the list } else if (android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals( android.os

Using the api logic you can detect if the sd card is available for read or write, but it doesn't tell you why it is not writable. I want to know if the user even has a sd card vs if it just mounted. Is this possible? for example: String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState(); if (state.equals(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY)) { } Check out the possible constants at : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment.html#getExternalStorageState%28%29 public static boolean isSdPresent() { return android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageState().equals(android.os

hey guys i am using the following code to access camera from my application. The application is able to access the camera i have also added a button whose onclicklistener adds this line of code :- camera.takePicture(mShutterCallback, mPictureCallbackRaw, mPictureCallbackJpeg); Now i dont know what happens but the application gets stuck i have to force close it and then i can not even access the native camera application. I think it leaves the application without releasing the Camera object. Plus the image never gets saved. Code :- SurfaceHolder holder; SurfaceView surface; Camera camera;
