Do you want to copy a file to that folder? This will only be possible with a rooted device.

Hi

I use Shell command copy sample from this forum and it work well
I can copy the file

but if I try this

File.Copy(File.DirAssets,"asource.txt",File.DirInternal,"asource.txt")
File.Copy(File.DirInternal,"asource.txt","/system/usr/keylayout/","asource.txt")

I get this error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /system/usr/keylayout/asource.tx Open failed: EACCES ( Permission denied)

In that case, you will need to use the Shell solution.
