Hi, I am new to Android but I am familiar with Linux. If you open the file you are obsserving it can not be really deleted until you close it. So if you get a delete event, you could backup the file and then just close it. I think it is the only way to accomplish it. If you could be notified *before* delete, the file will be deleted immediately after that so you would not be able to backup it unless you opened it before.
I think it should work. Good luck! Elena On Jul 23, 9:38 pm, wonglik <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I am playing withFileObserver.
