Problem with File.Exist

[mrjaw]

Hi!
I am installing my app in the phone but I dont want that my db being sustitud anytime that I install my app.

I use this code to check if my DB is there

'

 If File.Exists(File.DirDefaultExternal, "clock.db") = False Then        
      File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "clock.db", File.DirDefaultExternal, "clock.db")                           
 End If

My DB is stored in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/jq.clock/files. Each time that I run the app always copy my new DB to the path external doesnt matter that DB is there.
The condition always is true


I am using the phone as testing debugger.

Change it to File.DirRootExternal and it will work.

Isn't it a little impolite to store the database in the main root folder of the sd card? My opinion is that you have to either create a directory there or use the app default external.

Can't possibly be sure, but perhaps you're facing a similar issue: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...pp-very-fast-androids-startup.html#post115942
