I found the answer shortly after I posted. Apparently when using Context.OpenFileOutput you only supply the filename and not a path. I was supplying the full path, in my case /data/data/MCC.Android/files/Test.txt vs. just Test.txt. The file is still written to the same exact directory, you just can't supply a path or it throws an error.
So that is fixed and I can move forward now, but I'm still wondering if there is a way to easily add the WorldReadable flag to an already existing file that was not created using Context.OpenFileOutput... in my case the file was created by using the WebClient.DownloadFile method. I suppose I could refactor my code to download the file to memory first and then write it to file using OpenFileOutput but I'd rather avoid this if possible. Also I was hoping to make my code that does the file I/O cross-platform for either Android or iOS, and using Context.OpenFileOutput means my shared class now has Android specific code in it. Any help is appreciated, thanks. -- View this message in context: http://mono-for-android.1047100.n5.nabble.com/Question-regarding-FileCreationMode-WorldReadable-tp5480914p5480990.html Sent from the Mono for Android mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
