Hi Developers, This is about FileObserver Bug. I am using FileObserver in my application to keep track of newly created, deleted and modified files (images, video, MS Word document and PDF files). I am successful in handling these events in Lollipop but partially successful in Marshmallow. Detailed issue in Marshmallow.
1. I have tested this in Nexus 6 Marshmallow and it works fine. 2. But, when it comes to* LG Marshmallow and Samsung s7 (Marshmallow) *I am not able to capture the files. 3. When I tested in these mobiles, below events are not triggered, the events number are refereed from the this link. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/FileObserver.html - *Create - 256 * - *Delete - 512* - *Modified - 2 * These event numbers are *not triggered.* Is this a bug in Marshmallow itself ? Why its not working in Samsung s7 and LG marshmallow devices? Is Samsung and LG devices with Marshmallow restricting us from capturing using file observer? Please share your suggestions and help me to resolve these issues Thank You Shyamkumar M On Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 4:43:25 PM UTC+5:30, and.pradeep wrote: > > thanks solved it. instead of creating in separate threads i did it in > single thread by creating an instance of fileobserver for each > directory and calling startwatching(); in a loop. > > On Feb 4, 11:03 pm, Dianne Hackborn <hack...@android.com> wrote: > > You don't need to create any threads to use FileObserver -- it is > > callback-based. > > > > On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 11:27 PM, pradeep <pradeep...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > > i need to observe a sdcard i.e all the folders inside. i am creating > > > fileobservers for each folder in saparate threads, but i don't think > > > it is efficient. is there any other method for do so? > > > > -- > > Dianne Hackborn > > Android framework engineer > > hack...@android.com > > > > Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to > > provide private support.
