Android Question Are files locked?

[LucaMs]

In older versions of vb, we had at our disposal an identifier (#x) and, if I remember correctly, the corresponding file was locked.

With various:

File.WriteList
File.WriteMap
File.WriteString
and OutputStream

during the writing are the files locked?

How can we verify that the file is closed and available?

and subsequent posts).

WriteList / Map / String open an output stream, write the data and close the output stream.

If you are opening an OutputStream yourself then you are responsible for closing it.

Thanks for the info.

In the post related to the link, we are looking for a way to know the moment at which the closing occurs.

[Probably, we should try to write on "the same file", hoping to get an error to be catched]
