i was not talking about the files which my app writes on the local file
system.
I was talking about the "Clear Cache" button in here "Settings --> Apps -->
Manage Apps --> "My App" --> Clear Cach"
Is this the right way?
public static void trimCache(Context context) {
File dir = context.getCacheDir();
if(dir!= null && dir.isDirectory()){
File[] children = dir.listFiles();
if (children == null) {
// Either dir does not exist or is not a directory
} else {
File temp;
for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
temp = children[i];
temp.delete();
}
}
}
}
