Hi all.
I'm trying to delete file from sdcard (I know that I cannot delete from internal file system).

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
if(!deleteFile(fileName))
 
       showAlert(getString(R.string.alert), getString(R.string.delete_error), getString(R.string.back), true);
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

or

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

if(!new File(fileName).delete())
 
        showAlert(getString(R.string.alert), getString(R.string.delete_error), getString(R.string.back), true);
Parsed in 0.046 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

but nothing of this works.

I'm able to delete files from data/data/my_package_name/files/ dir using

       showAlert(getString(R.string.alert), getString(R.string.delete_error), getString(R.string.back), true);

It work's with files created within application, but I cannot delet content from sdcard, which was added using some tools (WinIso).

Does anyone know where the problem is?

Thanks.

The problem was with sdcard image. Don't use external tools, only "adb"!
