File Operations in Android NDK

Question

I am using the Android NDK to make an application primarily in C for performance reasons, but it appears that file operations such as fopen do not work correctly in Android.

Answer 1

Make sure to use the Java getExternalStorageDirectory() call to get the real path to the sdcard since newer devices don't simply map it to "/sdcard". In that case trying to use a hardcoded location of "/sdcard" will fail.
