Trying to use JSR 75 to access media saved under the '/home/video/' directory on the device. Using Blackbery JDK 4.6.1. Single line of code throws a 'FileSystem IO Error
' Exception. Which is, as usual, unhelpful in the extreme.
fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///home/user/videos/"+name, Connector.READ);
Has anyone tried to do this? I can open files within my jar, but can't seem to access the media folder. I have the javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.read
permission set and my appplication is signed.
There are two kind of filesystems on BlackBerry - SDCard and store. You have to use one of them, defining it in the path. Standard directory on SDCard where video, music etc stored is "file:///SDCard/BlackBerry".
