Last Modified Date Issue

[junaidahmed]

When I Copy file from source to destination,the modified date for destination file has changed. For Example

Source File : - /mnt/sdcard/Report.doc ----------> Last modified Date is 14/02/2012

Destination File :- /mnt/sdcard/Data/Report.doc --------> Last modified Date is 19/03/2012. "Why ?"

But in windows the date is same when copy from source to destination.

Pls advise,wheather it is a bug in Android or some other thing.

File.Copy is an internal implementation that creates a new file and copies the data from the current one. It is not a system command. There is no access to a system "copy" command from Java.

You can try setting the date after the copy: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/8670-file-system.html#post59577

You can use File.LastModified to get the date.
