hi @all,

i'm trying to delete a File by usiing this code:

		try
				{ 
					String dir2 = "file:///" + settingsCtrl.getLocal_dir() + filename;
					FileConnection filecon = (FileConnection)Connector.open(dir2);
					if(filecon.exists()) {
						System.out.println(dir2);
						filecon.delete();
					}
					filecon.close();	
					display.setCurrent(parent);
			        
				}catch (Exception e) {
					System.out.println(e.toString());
				}

but the output is:

file:///root/Documents/xml/test.xml
java.io.IOException: 
Execution completed.

so the sys.out is handled correctly, but the delete() method is buggy.
Even though, the file exists!
as you can see, the System.out.println(e.toString()); does not give me a hint, whats going wrong.

can you maybe help me?

thank you very much in advance,
martin

hi soku123,

i did some changes do debug:

try
{ 
	String dir2 = "file:///" + settingsCtrl.getLocal_dir() + filename;
	FileConnection filecon = (FileConnection)Connector.open(dir2);
	
	try
	{
		if(filecon.exists()) {
			System.out.println(dir2);
			filecon.delete();
		}
		filecon.close();	
		display.setCurrent(parent);
	}catch (Exception e) {
		System.out.println("delete:" + e.toString());
	}				
    
}catch (Exception e) {
	System.out.println("connection:" + e.toString());
	}					
}

I'm getting a:

delete:java.io.IOException:
Execution completed.

so its something with the delete ;)

thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Debug the code using system.out.println() befor filecon.close(), display.setCurrent(parent); and ensure that the exception occurs at delete().
Thanks

try
				{ 
					String dir2 = "file:///" + settingsCtrl.getLocal_dir() + getFilename();
					System.out.println(dir2);
					FileConnection filecon = (FileConnection)Connector.open(dir2);
					if(filecon.exists()) {						
						filecon.delete();
					}
					
					try
					{
						filecon.close();	
						display.setCurrent(parent);
					}catch (Exception e) {
						System.out.println("delete:" + e.toString());
					}
					
			        
				}catch (Exception e) 
				{
					System.out.println("connection:" + e.toString());
				}

file:///root/Documents/xml/test.xml
connection:java.io.IOException:

so it's the
if(filecon.exists()) {
filecon.delete();
}

part ..
hmmm

					System.out.println(dir2);

					try
					{
						if(filecon.exists()) {						
							filecon.delete();
						}
