Android Question Compare the dates of two files

[Espinosa4]

Hi,

I am trying to compare two dates. The first one is from assets and the last one is DefaultExternal. Is it possible? I've just read that is possible using file.lastmodified but I think it is not possible in a assets file.

Can you help me, please? I need compare this for replace a file depending the dates.

Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers.

File.LastModified doesn't work with assets files. You can add a small text file with the relevant date and then compare it to the date of the existing file.

Thanks Erel. It is a great idea!

Cheers!

Is there any working code solution for this ?
I have to compare the date of a file on a server with one on DefaultExternal. If i first download or copy it to a directory, it is modified and always newer than a existing.

How do you know the date of the file on the server?

How do you know the date of the file on the server?

Probably with FTP timestamp

With FTP it is quite simple.
