B4A Library File handling library

A file handling library that includes support for rooted devices. MLfiles will use superuser as well as busybox or toolbox if they are installed. The correct system paths are automatically searched for available superuser packages.

Attached is my file handling library for access to the Android file system. It includes a more complete Samba implementation for remote file access to windows or other samba servers. Below is a list of methods and variables available in the library. There is a simple example app in the zip to demonstrate some of the functions. works on rooted or non rooted devices.

MLfiles is now Version 1.50. MLsmb is now Version 1.51. See the attachments at the end of this post.

From version 1.50 MLfiles and MLsmb are separate libraries. If you are using both in your project, you'll need to check both libraries in the IDE. The jcifs samba library routines add over 300k to the size of an app. By separating the 2 libraries you get to choose when or if to use the samba library (MLsmb) or not.

MLfiles

Version: 1.5

• MLfiles
  Fields:
  • ErrStr As String
    The StdErr interface used by most commands. This should
    contain any error message from the OS.
  • FSerror As String
    The value of stderror is set to this string after each call
    if it is empty, there was no error.
  • HaveBB As Boolean
    True if busybox is installed.
  • HaveRoot As Boolean
    True if GetRoot succeeds.
  • HaveTB As Boolean
    True if toolbox is installed.

    The StdOut interface returned by some commands. This
    will contain what would normally be text output to a linux
    terminal.
  • fsStdOut As String
    Contains the Linux StdOut result of a command. This is
    what you would see in a Linux console if the command
    is successful.
  Methods:

The jcifs.jar file used in this library is available HERE

There are 2 test projects included in the zip file. One for MLfiles and one for MLsmb.


Version 1.1

• Many small changes have been made for efficiency. The GetRoot has been modified to try different methods of determining if a device has root access available. I added the Escape method in both the files and Samba objects to escape file names containing spaces, "(" and ")" characters. It returns the original string with no changes if nothing needs to be done, otherwise it escapes those characters with the "\" character so that linux and cifs can use the string.
  
  Version 1.2
  Added 2 new methods and changed 1.
  
  Added GetGigsFree(String Path) This returns the freespace of a partition in gigabytes as a double
  
  Added GetFreespace(String Path) This returns the freespace of a partition in bytes as a Long
  
  Changed GetDiskFree(String Path) to GetDiskstats(String Path) It still returns a formatted STRING of values.
  
  Updated the libtest.b4a project.
  
  Version 1.3
  Removed unused parameter from GetFreespace to avoid any confusion.
  
  Version 1.4
  Changed OS calls to look for busybox by default. Samsung and others do not offer common OS calls in their ROMs, but (at least in Samsungs case) they include busybox on the device, which solves this problem.
  
  Version 1.41
  Changed the cp and cpr methods. If the cp command is not present on the OS version, both use native methods to copy the file or do a recursive copy of the directory tree. These methods do not honor root access, so normal permissions are used.
  
  Version 1.42
  Minor change to the GetGigsFree and GetFreespace methods to try to ensure they return accurate results.
  
  Version 1.43
  Actually made version 1.42 changes work. About time!
  
  Version 1.44
  Added the Exists method to test if a file or directory exists.
  
  Version 1.45
  Fixes some zip extraction weirdness. NOTE: The order of fromDir and toDir have been changed! Also the destination directory will now be created if needed in both ExtractFilesFromDir() and ExtractFiles.
  
  Version 1.47
  Added GetExtSd method to find a mounted external (add-on_ sd card. Lots or rewrites and optimizations. The Samba routines are mostly rewritten and are now very reliable. Better authentication in all samba methods as well. More error correction and detection.
  
  Version 1.50
  Separated the local files and smb files into 2 libraries.

MLsmb Version 1.51
Corrected headers that got changed during the library separation process. Attached MLsmb-1.51.zip to correct this issue.

Looking forward to using this lib. Just curious, is the zip part adapted from the ABZipUnzip lib? just asking because I had problems with that lib in the past.

No, the zip routines are not a part of any lib.

Jem,


the error i get is still the same:

Changed: smb://192.168.0.2/2TB\ Network\ Drive/
smb://192.168.0.2/2TB\ Network\ Drive/
Errors:The network name cannot be found.

The Log text now displays the '\' characters infront of the spaces, but it still doesn't see the next directory.

Thanks

Stu

PS and sorry to be a pain

Not a pain at all! I do not have a server with spaces in the name here. I'll have to set up one of my servers to use names with spaces and test here. I'll try to find what is going on this week.

[HotShoe]

I was directed to use MLFiles in order to find out the room left on the SDCard. I'm using File.Size to find out the size of the file: documentation says that this is long. I understand that MLFiles.GetDiskFree gets a formatted string. When I compare the 2 results, I get
JavaLanguageNumberFormatException
on 'If' statement shown below.

As I'm a newbie, I'm asking how to correct this.

The GetDiskFree returns a string with 3 values in it and cannot be converted to a number as returned. I have added a new GetFreespace method that returns a Long that should work for you. Grab the 1.2 version and try that.

--- Jem

Thanks, Jem: works correctly. I was baffled by the Format As Boolean parameter: I assumed True. What does this parameter mean?

 

[HotShoe]

Thanks, Jem: works correctly. I was baffled by the Format As Boolean parameter: I assumed True. What does this parameter mean?

Actually it is unused. I meant to remove that but forgot. Originally I was going to return the result as a string and the return format would be as bytes, megabytes, or gigabytes. I decided just to do bytes and gigabytes and use 2 separate methods, but then forgot to remove that parameter. I'll fix that in the next release.

Thanks,

Hello,

could someone please give an example how the cpr works?

ml.cpr("/sdcard/external_sd/Documents","/sdcard/Documents") doesn't work for me.

Thanks for any help...

Are you sure that first path is correct? external_sd would normally be /mnt/external_sd. /sdcard is its own mount point. Check the ml.fserror to see if there is anything in that variable.

Path is correct on a Samsung Galaxy Note.

The cp example in your Example App doesn't work as well...

I don't see a problem in your code as long as the paths are correct and capitalization is ok. I just wrote a quick test and ran it on an unrooted phone with no problems

        tmp = sd & "MLtest/" 'sdcard returns the path with a trailing /
   
   ok = fs.mkdir(tmp) ' make a new directory
   
   ok = fs.touch(tmp & "Test") 'create an empty file (or change the file access time/date to NOW if it exists)
   
   If ok Then
   ok = fs.cp(tmp & "Test", tmp & "reTest") ' copy the file
   End If
   
   fs.mkdir("/mnt/sdcard/tst")
   
   ok = fs.cpr(tmp,"/mnt/sdcard/tst")

Try the new 1.40 version of the lib attached to the first post. I think this one will solve the problem. It seems Samsung stopped including some common OS commands such as cp, but they do supply busybox. This version uses busybox if it is available.

--- Jem

 

[HotShoe]

Update on Samsung and other devices

Well it seems update 1.40 will NOT solve the problem of copying files and directories. I was told that Samsung includes busybox, but it and others use the standard toolbox utility (so does the emulator), but that utility does not include the cp command. It is simple to copy files in Linux (android) without the cp command for rooted or non rooted devices. Copying directories is much more complicated though.

I have existing routines in both C and Pascal to do recursive copying, but it is not a simple set of commands that I can add in a few minutes. This adds considerable size to the library, but is the cleanest way. I have fixed the single file copy routine for the next release, but the recursive copy will have to wait for a while.

Jem,

I have now changed my network drive's name to 2TB, to get rid of the spaces, but the thing still doesn't work, saying 'Errors:The system cannot find the file specified.'

any ideas

the path is now:

smb://192.168.0.2/2TB/

cheers
