Apps Folder Directory Android

[takugian]

Hi, guys! Good night for all!

I've thought of starting to develop an application and one of its features is that it downloads some content (images, files, etc) and organize them into folders in accordance with site they were downloaded.

Well, the question is... How do Android organize your files? In Windows, for example, I could create some folders, one for each site, or one for each time period. But in Android, how does it work? Is there a system of folders like Windows? Or is there a totally different way to organize files?

Thank you so much!!

It is a system of folders, yes. Internal memory uses the yaffs2 filesystem, while external storage (i.e. sd card), uses a vfat filesystem. Both of them are made up of a hierarchy of folders and files, just as any other.

Sounds good. So... Is there some libraries in Android to use the "folder system"??? Could you show me how I can improve my knowledge about it? Some sites, tutorais, everything. Things like create folders, rename folders, delete folders, etc.

Thank you so much!!

You can use the Java File APIs. File | Android Developers

Also, the Environment APIs can help you find the right folders to start from:
Environment | Android Developers
