Method Detail

listFiles

public static java.lang.String[] listFiles(java.lang.String dir)

Lists the files contained in a directory. The strings returned are the names of the files and directories contained within this directory. This method returns null if the directory can't be read or if the operation fails. Path names ends with /, so it is easy to distinguish them from a file. On Palm OS, passing an empty string will return all installed cards. The flash memory slot will be named builtin (which is usually slot 1). Then, to copy to/from a slot, you must use slot:/full_path_to_file (E.G.: 1:/dbs/myapp/MyCatalog.pdb).

copyToRemote

public static boolean copyToRemote(java.lang.String srcFile,
                                   java.lang.String dstFile)

Copies a file from the desktop to remote device. If the target folder doesn't exist, it is created.

Parameters:

srcFile - The file on the desktop.

dstFile - The target file on the remote device. Note: this CANNOT be a folder name, but the target file name instead.

Returns:

True if the operation succeeds.

copyFromRemote

public static boolean copyFromRemote(java.lang.String srcFile,
                                     java.lang.String dstFile)

Copies a file from a remote device to the desktop.

Parameters:

srcFile - The file on the remote device.

dstFile - The target file on the desktop. Note: this CANNOT be a folder name, but the target file name instead.

Returns:

True if the operation succeeds.

delete
