Android Question How to copy file with space into name?

[cenyu]

I have next code to copy one file between two dirs

    Activity.LoadLayout("home")
    File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "/Big Space.otf", File.DirInternal, "/Big Space.otf")
    Log ("OK")

But result always is java.io.FileNotFoundException: \big space.otf

How to copy this file with space into its name?

I think it's the "/" you have in the filenames rather than the space. You just need the filename here.
Try

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "Big Space.otf", File.DirInternal, "Big Space.otf")

The result is the same... java.io.FileNotFoundException: \big space.otf

Files in Assets are lowercased.
Rename the file to be lowercase and try again

Renaming not work...Still the same error.
I thing that space is the promblem...

Interestingly, I'm testing in B4J, but with a file named "Big Space.otf" added to the files tab,

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "/Big Space.otf"....

and

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "Big Space.otf".....

and

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "\Big Space.otf".....

all work fine for me.

In your error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: \big space.otf

does the fact you have a backslash '\' rather than a forward slash '/', or that the error filename is all lower case point to something?
When I force a FileNotFoundException, the case of the error text reflects that of the file name exactly.

My file is not added to the files tab. And this is not solution for me....

My file is not added to the files tab.

I think this is the cause of your java.io.FileNotFoundException.

File. DirAssets As String [read only]​ Returns a reference to the files added to the Files tab. These files are read-only.

My file is not added to the files tab

Did you click on Sync-Button after adding the file to your Files-folder?

I don't think that the issue is not related to the space. The problem is somewhere else. You should upload a small project that demonstrates it.

 

[cenyu]

This is small project.... The main objective is to copy entire dir with sub dirs from DriAsset to DirInternal.

Copy ALL files directly to the Files folder.
YOU KNOW what files are there and you also know their names.
Copy all .otf or .ttf to Dirinternal/fonts/
Copy all ccs to Dirinternal/ccs/
