Let us create a simple application that demonstrates working with files.įire up Android Studio and Start a new Android Studio Project.įigure 1: Starting a new Android Studio Project To create temporary files meant for caching purposes, use the createTempFile() API. We also can create a file by calling openFileOutput() to get a FileOutputStream. File file = new File(context.getFilesDir(), To save files on internal storage, we need to acquire a directory as a file by calling either the getFilesDir() API (which represents an internal directory for your app), or by calling getCacheDir(), which represents your app’s temp cache files.Ī new file can be created by specifying the file and the name of the directory where the file needs to be created by using the File constructor as follows. If we declare READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, global read permissions are granted implicitly. To grant everyone permission to your files, you need to declare the following in your manifest file.
On the other hand, if the application was installed on external storage, the app files are moved only if we save them in the directory that is obtained from calling API getExternalFilesDir(). When the user uninstalls the application, if the app is installed on internal storage, all files are removed. Files saved in internal storage are accessible only to your app by default.Įxternal storage can be removed at any time and files saved here can be accessible to everyone.Īpplications can allow themselves to be installed on the external storage by specifying the android:installLocation attribute. The internal storage is also occasionally referred to as permanent storage.
Devices also can come with removable memory (like a SD card), which is referred to as external storage. Internal storage refers to the built-in, non-volatile memory. There are two storage areas: internal and external.
Like other modern operating systems, Android has a disk-based file system. Most applications have a need to work with files and, in this article, we will cover the basics of file management and have a simple demo.
