I want to copy a folder from my apps sandboxed folder to the sdcard so the user can back up their data.

I saw revCopyFolder in the dictionary, which looked perfect, until I realized it doesn't work on Android.

Is there something similar for Android? If I want to copy a folder from my app to the sdcard what is the best way?

I can use to create a folder on the sdcard, but how can I copy an entire folder and its contents to the SD card from my app's folder?

Thanks for any advice or suggestions,

TJ.

I sort of solved this by getting a list of the files in the folder to copy, create a new folder on the SD card, and copy each file into the new folder.

It works fine, however if there is a faster/easier way to just copy an entire folder on Android I'd love to know how.

Thanks,

TJ.

Hi Tj
I sometimes use rename folder to do that on iOS
I hope it works on android

Edit: Sorry "rename folder" only change the location but doesn't a copy
