Where's my file?

[jroriz]

This is strange: the code below works perfectly. But when I look for the file String.txt in sdcard using the tablet's file manager, or using windows explorer, simply can not find the file.

Code:
-------------------
If File.ExternalWritable = False Then
Msgbox("Cannot write on storage card.", "")
Return
End If

File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal, "String.txt", _
"This is some string" & CRLF & "and this is another one.")

Msgbox(File.ReadString(File.DirRootExternal, "String.txt"), "")

-------------------

I enabled the option to show hidden files and nothing.

The application finds the file but the file manager and windows explorer not.

There is another thing: if I change the file name to one that I have manually copied to the sdcard, it is not found.

I tried the example of the file dialog, and it shows files completely different from the root of the sdcard.

Tablets usually have two external storages.
Try:

Msgbox(File.DirRootExternal, "")

It will show you the path.

Where is (File.DirAssets) folder to include pictures with my apk file like:
LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"gray.png")

File.DirAssets is the Files folder in your project.
But you MUST add the files in the Files Tab !

I want to include some images within my project and load it when i needed using LoadBitmap

As said in my previous post.
Add the files in the Files Tab in the lower right corner in the IDE, chapter 4.3.2 Files in the Beginner's Guide.
These files are accessible in the code with File.DirAssests.
