[SOLVED] KILLFILE works on Android?

Previous topic - Next topic

msx

I'm trying to delete a file on Android and I can not, I tried using SETCURRENTDIR and PLATFORMINFO$("APPDATA") but the file is still there. DoesFileExist confirms this.

There is a bug in this command?

Dont know if this will help.
Maybe try it with an absolute path in the killfile command instand of setcurrentdir.

msx

I'm currently have focus on steam. So it's can take week or such. It's not a major issue in normal use.

you're right. I just wanted to know if it has happened to someone and as fix.

Mystery solved, you can not delete a file from the Media folder, if it is packaged in the APK. I guess it will be a matter of file attributes.

Ahhh, that normal. On Android, its auto copy media files from apk to memory, which is required before Glbasic can use it. You should not touch and try to delete etc. with Android Extras, it's might also auto delete it after use when another file is used to save memory.

KILLFILE might just not work with files in Media. Here I'm can no nothing at all.
