--------------------------------
Summary: Change Android filesystem root location
Key: CB-5916
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5916
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Android, Plugin File
Reporter: Ian Clelland
Assignee: Ian Clelland
Android Persistent files are (also) stored in an inconvenient place by default:
Either the application data directory (not accounting for a possible multi-user
environment), or the root of the SD Card, if it is mounted (And on Nexus
devices, the emulated SD Card is *always* mounted)
See CB-285 for much more discussion, and
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html for a good
explanation of the properties of various storage locations.
There should be a single preference in config.xml for Android persistent files.
It can take one of two values (currently; additional values may be added later
if we have better ideas)
{code}
<preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" /> (Old
location logic)
<preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Internal" /> (New
location)
{code}
"{{Internal}}" will put persistent files under the user's application internal
storage directory {{Activity.getFilesDir() + "/files"}} -- the extra {{/files}}
means that other filesystem plugins can register roots at different places
under {{getFilesDir()}} which will not be visible to one another.
