As I've pointed out to you recently on another occasion, this is not quite true. The ability to access files in the private storage area from another app is controlled by the access mode settings on those files, which is something the owning application can choose. It is true that it's a pain to find readable files in another app's internal storage directory, since the parent /data directory is not readable by apps, meaning that browsing needs to skip directly to a directory which the app has made readable, or that the file's full path needs to be known. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
