Where can I store data files for my application?

Postby tum0rc0re » Fri Dec 21, 2007 7:24 am

I make minitool for set wallpaper for home screen. And I want that when I click on button "Add picture" will show list picture files from my current application path. Or can this pics store in another place? Now I use pics from drawable resources. A button "Set wallpaper" already work :) Help me.

No, files in this folder are alive until your application is installed at emulator. Just try.

Hi,
I'm trying to do something like that (change the home screen wallpaper) with the 1.5 SDK and it doesn't work.


I have an Activity with this code :

When I click on my button, the home screen wallpaper doesn't change.
My image is in the /sdcard/images directory.

Is it the good function for doing this ?
Do my application need some specific permission ?
