I have to make some additions to what I said before: 1. There are some typos in the folder names in my post. They are only in that post and are definitely not the cause of my problems.
2. Though there is a small chance that my folder /data/data/package/ app_mycustomname/mysubdirectory was indeed empty, but I cannot look into any of the application folders. I think this is a permission related problem, but I thought the usage of MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE would solve this. I have no good understanding of what linux permissions mean, but drwxrwxrwx seems to me as if every user has every possible permission on that dir. Because I cannot see the files and subdirectories there in, I cannot tell if they are present and if they have the right permissions. If there is really a permission problem, I think I could get arround it if I rooted my phone. Do you think this would help? All the how- to's that I found so far were written for consumer devices, do they work an a ADP1 too?
