I need to write some data to a temporary file on Android, but trying to write to a newly created TemporaryFile object I get an assert:
if (temporaryFile.exists())
{
// Have a few attempts at overwriting the file before giving up..
for (int i = 5; --i >= 0;)
{
if (temporaryFile.moveFileTo (targetFile))
return true;
Thread::sleep (100);
}
}
else
{
// There's no temporary file to use. If your write failed, you should
// probably check, and not bother calling this method.
jassertfalse;
}
Has anyone had any sucess with this class on Android? The same code works fine for me on my PC.
Thanks, I'm relatively new to this Android stuff but I do have "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" set in my AndroidManifest.xml file. Am I missing something else?
Thanks, but I'd rather do this directly within my C++ code rather than use the Java File class. I've a few other things to try out. I'll report back if I get it working.
Adding permissions for writing to external storage and then creating my file in "/sdcard/" seems to have done the trick. Nice one. I didn't have to go messing with any JAVA stuff whatsoever ;)
