File creation

[derez]

I'm trying to create a file in the sdcard using textwriter.initialize, but get an error about permissions, probably it is read only.

Does anyone know how to enable file creating on the sdcard of an emulator ?
Using push command I can send files to a directory but not by the code.
I don't know if this problem happens with a real device.

How do you get the sdcard folder? You should use File.DirRootExternal.

I made the folders " manually" using andexplorer, and use them for User files:

tr.Initialize(File.OpenInput("sdcard\Nivut\User", name))

I can read the directory and files but can't create them.

Must I use the File.DirRootExternal folder ?

Yes. It will set the permissions as required.

tr.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirRootExternal & "/Nivut/User", name))

Note that on some devices the external storage may be named differently, so it is better to use it anyway.

OK no problem
