[prbmjr]

Hi everyone!

I need help to access a file using the RandomAccessFile library but the file that I have to access is into a USB stick, I can open the file normally using the ExternalStorage , this work fine if I use their functions, but How can I use the ExternalStorage library access with RandomAccessFile library ?

Thanks in advance!

AFAIK you can´t. You have to use the ExternalStorage Class to access the Files.

Thanks for your answer!

Is there another way to access a file in a USB stick using a RandomAccessFile library?

As far as i know you can´t use Randomaccessfile.

Use the external Storage class to access USB-Sticks or other external Storages.

You could copy the file to File.DirInternal or similar and access it from there.

Hi agraham,

Thank you for your answer, but the problem is that I need to read the file in the USB stick without copy it using the RandomAccessFile ... But it´s not possible...

If you only need to read the file I don't see why you can't copy it - but without copying it is not possible to randomly access a file in external storage.
