How to create named pipe (mkfifo) in Android?

Question

I am having trouble in creating named pipe in Android and the example below illustrates my dilemma:

if (res != 0         


        

Answer 1

there's also /sqlite_stmt_journals (we use it for testing, I don't know how long this directory will survive OS updates)

If you need IPC, the best practices are to use the Binders

If you only need inter-thread communication, you can use unnamed pipes through JNI (this works fine)
