margret Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 14, 2012 #2 If you create the folder in: /data/data/myappname/files it will be hidden. The only way to access it is with your app. This is the same as creating a folder under: File.DirInternal Upvote 0

I'm asking this, cause it would be very nice if I could have a db really hidden there. Upvote 0

margret Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 14, 2012 #4 O.K. you didn't say rooted in the first post. It looks like on a rooted phone they could get to your data. See This: android - Can other applications monitor/access my apps internal memory after rooting - Stack Overflow Upvote 0

Just from curiosity, because as I've said, it would be quite good to perform such a task Upvote 0

Perhaps, then, you might want to try to encrypt the file, thus making opening from an external application, useless? Upvote 0

SoyEli Active Member Licensed User Longtime User May 15, 2012 #11 Thank you for the reply: I did that but, after 20 min of waiting for incryption of 5 MB I gave up. Upvote 0
margret Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User May 15, 2012 #12 I would still try what I suggested and see if it works. You can always change it later. 5mb is not to big for the internal folder. Code: File.MakeDir(File.DirInternal, "mydata") File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "myfile.txt", "", File.DirInternal & "/mydata/myfile.txt") If your phone is not rooted this should be hidden. Replace the folder and file names with yours. Upvote 0
