Hey,
I'm working on an application that involves writing files to the private files dir of an application. In the first stage I only had to write to the default files dir so I just used the openFileInput() method from an Activity (Context). Now that I've done that I was about to expand and write files in different directories for different purposes. This resulted in:
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: File foo/bar.txt contains a path separator"
This stackoverflow question explains the problem nicely. The suggested solution probably works but I'm wondering how I should implement it. I would like to feature the permissions and anything else that I might require to have robust I/O.

Also, in my experience, when API developers prohibit such a feature there's a reason for it. So if anyone has any thoughts on that, by all means enlighten me
Thanks!
