Android Question Writing data into Assets Folder

[beelze69]

Hi,

I have a doubt.

Now to start using a file (say a file test.db),I need to first copy the file from the 'File.DirAssets' folder to the 'File.DirInternal'
folder.

Now, it is clearly mentioned that we cannot copy anything into the Assets folder.

Now, assuming I want the end-user to access a downloaded test.db

i) Should I download the data first into the Assets folder ? If Yes, can you pl. give me an example.

Assuming the relevant command line is,

FTP.DownloadFile( "test.db", False, File.DirRootExternal, "test.db")

Can you please tell me how do I move the file from File.DirRootExternal to File.DirAssets folder ?

ii) How is the data written into the Assets
folder ?
Actually, my aim is to permanently download and keep the data at a particular STANDARD PATH in the mobile device (meaning
the path should be such that I should be able to access some 'STANDARD FOLDER' [across majority ofl mobile/Table devices' ] and 'Initialize' the file from there.

I have a limited understanding of standard folders on mobile/ipad devices. My understanding that DirAssets is a standard location. Please correct me if I am wrong and please guide me on how do I go about doing this.

Thanks.

You cannot write anything to File.DirAssets. This includes copying files to that folder.
