Question by Kazkadez · Jan 31, 2017 at 08:24 PM · android unity 5 move file directory

File.Move() on Android doesn't seem to work.

I've been trying to figure out how to move a screenshot from the install directory on android to the DCIM folder on either the phone storage or the SDcard storage.

Here's what's working:

Application.CaptureScreenshot(); Saves is in Android/data/identifier-bundle/files/
Detect platform to know which dataPath to search.
If(File.Exists); Using Application.persistentDataPath

Here's what's not working:

File.Move()

// Code bit. string tempPath = ""; if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android) { tempPath = Application.persistentDataPath + "/" + tempName; }

         if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.WindowsEditor)
         {
             tempPath = tempName;
         }
         if (File.Exists(tempPath))
         {
             if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.Android)
             {
                 string savePath = "/storage/extSdCard/DCIM/TMP Screenshots/";
                 try
                 {
                     File.Move(tempPath, savePath);
                 } catch (IOException e)
                 {
                     // Open the ui again to show it didn't move.
                     uilayer.open = true;
                 }
             }
             if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.WindowsEditor)
             {
                 Debug.Log("Screenshot saved! Find it at " + tempPath);
             }
             needScreenShot = false;
             uilayer.blockSwipes = false;
             takeScreenshotButton.interactable = true;
             saved = true;
         }

I've also tried to check for directory and create, but that doesn't work either.

I know there's a plugin that takes care of all of this for me, but I want to code it for myself. It's part of my learning goals.
