Hi fadden,

Is it sure a case of Symbolic Links?

Anyway, I have found that code:

Path file = ...;
boolean isSymbolicLink = Attributes.readBasicFileAttributes(file,
LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS).isSymbolicLink();

Which, unfortunately, works only on Java 7 (SE).

I couldn't find any way of checking this using Android's Java.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
