Hi,

My app is supposed to be saving a captured picture to the system.ResouceDirectory which is where the app is running on the phone. Is there a way through the files I can browse to this directory on my phone and see the files?

Thanks

Warren

I believe you can only do this if you have rooted your device. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32652 reply_id: 129828[/import]

The reason I was asking is I am wanting to save an image to this directory and I wanted to verify it was saved there. Is there an easier way to do this? [import]uid: 184193 topic_id: 32652 reply_id: 129831[/import]

What you can do is use the LFS module (Lua File System, should be a blog post on it). You can write a directory scanner that will scan your available app folders to get a list of files there.

You’re app can’t reach out of it’s sandbox, but it can read it’s own directories. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32652 reply_id: 129846[/import]
