Android: How to get a file's creation date?

Question

This is my code:

File TempFiles = new File(Tempfilepath);
if (TempFiles.exists()) {
    String[] child = TempFiles.list();
    for (int i = 0; i < child.l         


        

Answer 1

There is an alternate way. When you open the file for the first time save the lastModified date, before you modify the folder.

long createdDate =new File(filePath).lastModified();

And then when you close the file do

File file =new File(filePath);
file.setLastModified(createdDate);

If you have done this since the file was created, then you will have the createdDate as the lastModified date all the time.
