Hi,
I want to listen to the changes occured in file system.I am using
FileObserver.Now the problem I am facing is whenever a file is created
or modified or deleted a lot of events are generated.I dont get any
perfect way to find the change.Here is my code:
class MyDirObserver extends FileObserver
{
String superPath;
public MyDirObserver(String path)
{
super(path, ALL_EVENTS);
this.superPath=path;
}
public void onEvent(int event, String path)
{
Log.e("onEvent of Directory", "=== onEvent ===");
try{
_Dump("dir", event, path,superPath);
}
catch(NullPointerException ex)
{
Log.e("ERROR","I am getting error");
}
}
}
private void _Dump(final String tag, int event, String path,String
superPath)
{
Log.d(tag, "=== dump begin ===");
Log.d(tag, "path=" + path);
Log.d(tag,"super path="+superPath);
Log.d(tag, "event list:");
if ((event & FileObserver.OPEN) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " OPEN");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.CLOSE_NOWRITE) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " CLOSE_NOWRITE");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.CLOSE_WRITE) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " CLOSE_WRITE");
Log.i("NEWFILEOBSERVER","File is Modified");
if(path!=null)
{
Log.d("---------FilePath",superPath+path);
}
}
if ((event & FileObserver.CREATE) != 0)
{
isCreate=true;
Log.i("NEWFILEOBSERVER","File is Created ");
if(path!=null)
{
Log.d("---------FilePath",superPath+path);
}
Log.d(tag, " CREATE");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.DELETE) != 0)
{
Log.i("NEWFILEOBSERVER","File is deleted");
if(path!=null)
{
Log.d("---------FilePath",superPath+path);
}
// startMyActivity("A new file is deleted thats="+superPath);
Log.d(tag, " DELETE");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.DELETE_SELF) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " DELETE_SELF");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.ACCESS) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " ACCESS");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.MODIFY) != 0)
{
if(!isModified)
isModified=true;
if(isModified && isOpen)
isAgainModified=true;
Log.d(tag, " MODIFY");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.MOVED_FROM) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " MOVED_FROM");
if(path!=null)
{
Log.d("---------FilePath",superPath+path);
}
}
if ((event & FileObserver.MOVED_TO) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " MOVED_TO");
if(path!=null)
{
Log.d("---------FilePath",superPath+path);
}
}
if ((event & FileObserver.MOVE_SELF) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " MOVE_SELF");
}
if ((event & FileObserver.ATTRIB) != 0)
{
Log.d(tag, " ATTRIB");
}
Log.d(tag, "=== dump end ===");
}
and also,it stops after some time.I dont get the exact time but doesnt
work always though I call startWatching() in service.
I hope you guys help me.I tried many ways but it doesnt work
perfectly.Am I doing something wrong???
or there we have some other way to do this.......
Please help me........I have to get this done withing few days......
Any help is appreciated!!!!
