The Context provides openFileInput/openFileOutput and also defines the following as parameters to these methods
MODE_WORLD_READABLE MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE However, everything I read states that files in Android are private to the application and if file data is to be shared you HAVE to use ContentProviders to share the data across applications. So what is the intent of the MODE_WORLD_READABLE/MODE_WORLD_WRITABLE values? Is this a future thing that has not been completed yet? The reason I ask is I am trying to solve the problem of having two applications that I am writing read and write to the same data whether it be preferences or content. The idea of a Context Provider is fine, but it implies that a separate app would already be installed that provides the Content Provider to my applications (which is not the case). and I would like to not duplicate code and effort across my applications. How do I implement the concept of a central repository for my applications without forcing the install or a separate repository app to supply the Content Providers? thanks, Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
