Titanium Android exposes Context.getExternalFilesDir() ??

Hello,

does Titanium expose the following: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#getExternalFilesDir(java.lang.String)

I need access to this folder in order to download and store files in sdcard which will be deleted when user uninstalls the app.

Titanium 2.1.2. Android 4.0.x

Check the Filesystem docs for externalStorageDirectory

  • Context.getExternalFilesDir() corresponds to Android/data in the external memory on native developing.

    I tried to do the same by Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.externalStorageDirectory, "Android", "data") but it does not save the file there. Any ideas?

  • if getExternalFilesDir() corresponds to Android/data, then externalStorageDirectory most likely corresponds to the same place. You don't have to add Android/data to the filesystem path.

  • I tested it. It does not correspond to the same place. externalStorageDirectory creates a folder with name same with your app id to the sdcard and then places your folders/files in there. The problem is that this folder/files ARE NOT DELETED when user uninstalls the app. I need to find a way to remove all files/folders of my app when the user deletes it. It seems so that there is no way to do that with titanium yet..
