Filesystem monitoring is only provided in Java in the NIO2 stuff coming with Java 7. Android supports a subset of Java 6 so perhaps you can port this over yourself by looking at their source. As far as I know though, even the NIO2 will often need to use constant polling which would absolutely kill the battery life of an Android device I think.
So the real question is whether it's possible to hook into some native Android services and be notified regarding writes to /sdcard but I fear, if even possible, this require a rooted phone. /Casper On 13 Aug., 21:05, "Mapara,Harshit Nitinkumar" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am creating an app and the requirement is - I have to listen to the > SD card for new data comes in. > > Whenever a new file is downloaded into SD card , I want to be notified. > (or say , I want to listen for changes) > > I searched, but can't get any useful help. > > Please help me in this issue. > > Any code sample, link will be nice to have. > > Thanks > Harshit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
