Bug? Bug? File.copy works in Debug Mode, but not in Release Mode...

[cmweb]

Hello,

this code

Sub Globals
   'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
   Dim quelldir, targetdirectory, quellfile, file1 As String
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   quellfile = "2012_Programm.pdf"
   file1 = "2012_Programm.pdf"
   quelldir = "/sdcard/download"
   targetdirectory = "/sdcard/external_sd/Documents"
   File.Copy(quelldir, quellfile, targetdirectory, file1)
End Sub

works well in Debug Mode, but results in an exception when running in Release Mode.

Exception is:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Documents/2012_Programm.pdf: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

This seems to be a bug...!?
How can I get around it?

Best regards,

Carsten

Do you have in your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Hi,

interesting, that did the trick.

But I never had that line in my manifest and it worked always without any problems...

Is this new?

Best regards,

You should use File.DirRootExternal when you access the external storage.
1. The actual path may be different on different devices.
2. The compiler will add this permission for you.

Hi Erel,

1. User selects the directory. So it's existing. The code above was just the sample.

2. As the user selects the directory, I don't use DirRootExternal in that case.

Best regards,

Carsten

did it solved?

Yes, adding that permission in manifest helped...

The permission is added automatically, whenever you use File.DirRootExternal in your application.

Dim dummy as String
dummy=File.DirRootExternal 'Get sdcard write permission

That sounds like a good idea...

Best regards,

Carsten

Do you have in your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
