I created this method:
public static String getRootPath()
{
String os=Display.getInstance().getPlatformName();
if (os.toLowerCase().contains("ios")) {
String documentsRoot=FileSystemStorage.getInstance().getRoots()[0];
int pos=documentsRoot.lastIndexOf("Documents");
String libraryRoot=documentsRoot.substring(0,pos)+"Library";
return libraryRoot+"/";
}
return FileSystemStorage.getInstance().getRoots()[0]+"/";
}
This clearly has to be used with FileSystemStorage not Storage.
FileSystemStorage.getInstance
().openOutputStream(getRootPath()+fileName+".ext");
So the result would be the same? That is, the private folder would be
accessed and written even if it points to private Storage?
Regards
