Rename file can be found in this library: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fileutils.95209/

Apparently a move to Trash facility is coming in Java 9.

OK, the RenameTo in the Library looks like it only moves in the same directory. This one will work anywhere (That you have the correct access rights to)

'Renames the file denoted by this pathname.
Public Sub RenameTo(DirName As String, FileName As String, NewDirName As String, NewFileName As String) As Boolean
    Dim Source As JavaObject
    Source.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.File",Array(DirName,FileName))
    Dim Dest As JavaObject
    Dest.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.File",Array(NewDirName,NewFileName))
    Return Source.RunMethod("renameTo",Array As Object(Dest))
End Sub

Sub RenameFolder(Parent As String, CurrentFolder As String, NewFolder)
   Dim p As Phone
   Dim args(2) As String
   args(0) = File.Combine(Parent, CurrentFolder)
   args(1) = File.Combine(Parent, NewFolder)
   p.Shell("mv", args, Null, Null)
End Sub
