Android Question Renaming a Directory

GiovanniPolese · Aug 2, 2024

Hi to All
I need to rename a not empty directory, located in GetSafeDirDefaultExternal, (without renaming the internal files). I have looked at some posts relative to renaming files. Some of them are old, other rename files (and not dirs). Finally I have not clear ideas on what to do.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

This works with folders: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...d-file-delete-into-trashcan.98534/post-620702

B4X:

Dim rp As RuntimePermissions
Dim folder1 As String = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("test1")
Dim folder2 As String = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("test2")
File.WriteString(folder1, "1.txt", "test")
RenameTo(folder1, "", folder2, "")
Log(File.ReadString(folder2, "1.txt"))

I saw that post but it was not clear that I must simply leave empty the parameters for files. At the end it is:

B4X:

RenameTo(previousDir,"",NewDir,"")

and it works. Thanks a lot.
