iOS Question Rename a folder

[Alessandra Pellegri]

In B4A I use your example code to change a folder name:

Sub RenameFolder(Parent As String, CurrentFolder As String, NewFolder)
  Dim p As Phone
  Dim args(2) As String
  args(0) = File.Combine(Parent, CurrentFolder)
  args(1) = File.Combine(Parent, NewFolder)
  p.Shell("mv", args, Null, Null)
End Sub

But in B4I it doen't work, how could I do ?

Thank you

Here:

Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
   NavControl = Nav
   Page1.Initialize("Page1")
   NavControl.ShowPage(Page1)
   Page1.RootPanel.LoadLayout("1")
   File.WriteString(File.DirDocuments, "1.txt", "Sdfsdf")
   Dim no As NativeObject = Me
   Log(no.RunMethod("renameFile::", Array (File.Combine(File.DirDocuments, "1.txt"), _
     File.Combine(File.DirDocuments, "111.txt"))).AsBoolean)
   Log(File.ListFiles(File.DirDocuments))
End Sub

#if objc
- (BOOL)renameFile: (NSString*)source :(NSString*)target {
   return [[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtPath:source toPath:target error:nil];
}
#end if

I see in the example you typed 1.txt and 111.txt but does it work for directories also ?
If so, on the footprint of the B4A example I could write:

Sub RenameFolder(Parent As String, CurrentFolder As String, NewFolder)
   Dim args(2) As String
   args(0) = File.Combine(Parent, CurrentFolder)
   args(1) = File.Combine(Parent, NewFolder)
   Dim no As NativeObject = Me
   no.RunMethod("renameFile::", Array( args(0), args(1))).AsBoolean
   Return
End Sub

#if objc
- (BOOL)renameFile: (NSString*)source :(NSString*)target {
return [[NSFileManager defaultManager] moveItemAtPath:source toPath:target error:nil];
}#end if

Is it right ?

It works !! Problem solved !
Thank you

I think that it wouldn't a bad idea to create a reference wiki for most used nativeobject
