Context.openFileInput() and Context.openFileOutput() can only access a private file which belong to its app, correct?
If I want to access a file which is not belong to my app, how could I do?
Any examples?

You simply cant.. except the file is global read/write if not
there is maybe a content provider for it.. if this is not the case
you cant do anything.. well ok.. hack it but .. thats a bit rude

I recently found a tutorial by plusminus: http://www.anddev.org/building_an_android_filebrowser_list-based_-t67.html.
He use the File object to get the file list of a specified folder.
I wonder when shall we use the API from java.io, and when shall we use the API from android platform. And what's the difference?
