Hello Mark,
In java.io, the File API is supposed to provide APIs like
setExecutable (boolean)
setWritable (boolean)
setReadable (boolean)
However, in the android.jar which includes all the needed classes,
the java.io package doesn't provide the above APIs in the File class.
Has this been done for security reasons ?
Which means if an application downloads some bytes and writes to
a file created through the below code
File destination = new File ("/sdcard/myfile.txt");
there is no way to change permissions of 'myfile.txt' to 777 ?
There is a 'Runtime' facility provided through java.lang, but I'm
skeptical
whether to use this or not. Runtime would only work on rooted devices
right?
eg.,
