Bug? Bug with copy?

[JJM]

Hello,
If I want to rename, for example, a photo, I must do that in 4 times instead in twice:
file.copy(dir1,oldname,dirtemp,newname)
file.delete(dir1.oldname)
file.copy(dirtemp.newname,dirT.newname)
file.delete(dirtemp.newname)

If I write
file.copy(dir1,oldname,dirT.newname)
file.delete(dir1.oldname)
I get a Java error that says 'dir1 oldname not exist' ??!!

Is-it normal?
Thanks a lot
JJ M

Which line raises this error?

In my post I wrote :
'If I write

file.delete(dir1.oldname)

You must read 'file.copy(dir1,oldname,dir1.newname)......'

and the line which raises error is file.copy(dir1,oldname,dir1,newname)

Please use [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without spaces) when posting code.

Sounds like a bug in your code. If you like try to reproduce it in a small project and upload it.

Note that File.Copy expects 4 parameters, not 3.

I send you a small project.
Thank you

It did copy the file here. I then run the program again and saw the new file.

Which device are you testing it with?

 

[JJM]

a HTC Desire S (Android 2.3.5) , but it's fine with my Samsung Tab3 7 (android 4.1.2)
Is-it a problem with android version?

 

[Erel]

I don't think that it is related to the Android version. Seems like a problem with this specific device.

I have writen this program 1 year before with B4A version 2.4 and it was fine.

File.Copy implementation hasn't changed since v1.0.
