I have created antivirus type app whose main purpose is to clean unwanted caches, logs, empty files and folders from Internal Storage of android. It worked fine until android 11 as Android/data folder is not accessible. This folder contains most junk files.
Please anyone help me to know - how can I access this folder with read and write permissions programmatically without root ?

IS there anyone who can help in accessing other Application directory/folder Under Android/data/. I want to put some .bin files in other Application folder. Please help. As in Android11 due to some restrictions 3rd party apps are not allowed to access other folder.
So, I stumbled across a little problem, I can't seem to figure out.
I have a NAS where I dump data on and a script to download files I need back to my PC.
While doing so, it creates a folder for the file. After that, I run a different script that encodes the video files to save some space.
However, for some reason, the files and folders keep getting a 'read-only' lock that prevents the source file to be deleted after compression.
So I have to get into each individual folder and remove the read-only permission.
Is there some way to disable the read-only lock?
The Owner if the Root folder is my personal account, with full access.
Changing it to SYSTEM or Admin with full access doesn't change anything.
We have a Universal Windows 10 Platform (UWP) application containing an unmodifiable C library which creates web files in its working folder. These web files are then loaded by the WebView object for display. This architecture is working fine on other platforms, but it fails on UWP due to a lack of write access to the working folder. Apparently in a UWP app the working folder has special ACL protections which prevent creating files. Is there a way to create a UWP app which is permitted to create new files in its own working folder?
Note, we have tried using a different folder but in those cases the WebView object either will not load a file at all or does not load associated xsl, css, etc files. Very frustrating.
Cheers, Bill :-)
There is no way to write to the installation folder. This is by design to ensure seamless differential updates and clean uninstall of apps.
Have you tried setting the current working directory (to local appdata for example) before using the component?

I have written a Visual Basic.Net application in Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. When this application is installed to the Program Files folder, when files are saved, they are located in this location:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\[Company Name]\\[Application Name]
How can I specify to save the files in the following directory:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\[Company Name]\\[Application Name]
folder (basically, not the VirtualStore folder)?
Do I need to register this application within Windows to do this?
Thanks in advance
First, what instalation software are you using?
Second, if you're going to save your app files in the AppData directory, then you should really choose to save your app in either the, Roaming, Local, or LowLocal directory. It isn't "proper" to start making new directories where other directories are available to use, especially since the Roaming, Local, and LowLocal directories were more-or-less made to hold application's data (which is why the parent directory is call "AppData").
im a bit confused about the most proper way to manage resources (files and folders) needed by the application.
I make it clear:
I have an executable ( developing on mac osx with qt ), and a i have a fixed folder hierarchy, where a bunch of configuration files are kept. Those files might be manually edited, added or delete.
Now on windows or linux, i would just easily get those files by simply accessing parent folders, and those folders are freely accessible by any OS file manager.
But in OSX my executable is inside the .APP bundle.
Then i should be able to retrieve resources from within the bundle ( even if resources management in qt creator sucks ), but the user should also be able to open and edit the app bundle, which is not feasibl at all... and i neather want to deploy any resource manager nor put the configs in (eg.)home subfolder ( i want to keep everything together ).
Is there any solution?
Thanks!
In OS X terms your config files should really be in Application Support, the user can access them there. However they can also access them from the app bundle if you put them in there by right clicking and selecting View Package Contents, you can then change the files and save them.
