File install path in Android (Deployment Manager)

[PhxMarco 0]

Hello,

I need install my Sqlite db file in a specific path of my industrial handheld:

/data/user/0/com.acme.myapp/databases/DBSQLITE.db

but in Deployment manager seems only possible install on  .\assets\internal\

which result in a absolute path:   

/data/user/0/com.acme.myapp/files/DBSQLITE.db

 

I tryed to change remote folder in '.\assets\internal\databases\'

but after installation the file result located in  
 

com.acme.myapp/files/databases/
which is not   
com.acme.myapp/databases/

Is there any way to set the installation path as I need ?

 

BR,

Marco

Have you tried in your deployment settings to set the remote path to:

  '.\databases'

yes just done, but file location stay the same...

To list the App folders I use

TPath.GetDocumentsPath()
and 
TPath.GetHomePath()

which seems give the same path:   /data/data/<application ID>/files

 

To list the 'databases'  folder there is no TPath method available, so I use tha Andrioid API  databaseList:

Context := TAndroidHelper.Context;
DatabaseArray := Context.databaseList;

which still empty, dispite other java made apps, where the db file are listed...

This is the right place, see: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Athens/en/System.IOUtils.TPath.GetHomePath

 

So your files go to on the home directory or in the subfolder of that like you see.

yes, I have seen and tested, but the Home path

/data/data/<application ID>/files is the top higher level reachable; with Deployment manager seems not possible create or put files in   /data/data/<application ID>/databases 😞
