Where storage on SD card or device memory?

Hi I have question hava... I need the xml file storage unit to read before... in the development I store these files in the SD card for can check the strcuture, etc... but the question her if I can store these files in the device when lauchn the app for the production? best practices?

Thank you

The answer is, it depends.

If you need these files remain after a reset, then you should put it on the SD card or the memory of the device (that is, persistent store or RMS.  If these files are large, or there are a lot of them so the cumulative storage is big, then you are probably best to not to exhaust the permanent Bank for them.  However using the SD card has its problems - what happens if the user replaces their SD card or deletes your files?

Otherwise, if your files are not required to remain after a reboot, then you can keep these in the Application (that is, the RAM) storage.  This means that your Application must remain active to ensure they stay.  Or you could put them in RuntimeStore, so they survive request stop and start (but not stop and start System).

So it depends on size of data concerned, that they need to be persistent and, to a lesser extent, the design of your application.

  • Applications blackBerry Smartphone installation on SD card, NO device memory

    I just got my first ever BlackBerry (the bold), after using Windows PDA for several years.  I installed a few third-party applications (a few E-books) by using the Desktop Manager.  I don't see an option to choose if I wanted the apps on the SD card or in the device memory, so I guess that they went to the memory of the device.

    Is it possible to install apps like e-books on the SD card instead of the device memory?

    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

    No, it isn't. Apps won't load on press card.

    You can use a third-party application, Aerize App Loader, to load the Setup file for an application to the media card, and if necessary, aerize will install the application in the device memory.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones to transfer files from memory card to device memory

    Hi... the subject seems pretty basic.

    But when I plug my 8330 to a computer, I can access only files in the directory "Blackberry", which are files on the SD card.  I want to be able to access files / photos stored on the memory of the device.  I thought that to transfer the files from the device to the SD memory memory then would allow me to download on my computer

    Someone knows how to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Go to the media, press menu and Explorer, go to the memory of the device to locate the file, select the file menu, and then tap new and move

  • Where to store the images uploaded on the device memory

    My app download pictures on the internet and stores them in the file system of the device. The problem I have is that I don't know where to store these images. If I store them in the pictures folder in the device memory or the SD card, they appear in the photo gallery of phones which is not acceptable.

    I need advice on the storage location of these images.

    Thank you

    Welcome on the support forums.

    If your application is the only user of images you can store them in a different format or with another extension, this avoids them listed in the overview.

    more complicated would be encryption, but also quite possible, just take the array of bytes of each image, encrypt him and then add it as a file.

  • Card memory to device memory of blackBerry Smartphones

    Now that I have my new memory card in my phone, is there a way I can transfer my photos that I saved in my device memory on my memory card using my phone instead of having to use my computer to do?

    Hello

    How many pictures do you have?

    It may be better to go outside (it's very nice here, pop a top) and yourself by e-mail of the photo.

    Highlight the photo, touch menu, send, receive, record button the map of bracket.

    If you hang with her more power for you, for me moving to one at a time is root.

    You can also just send to your PC. Then use MY computer to reload the media card.

    He cannot enter into the device memory via a PC.

    Let me know!

    Thank you

    Bifocals

    You can use a PC for the transfer of information between the PC and the media card.
    Basically you focus for the BB and PC USB. Don't use office
    Manager. Go to 'My Computer' on the PC and the BB will be displayed as a flash drive.
    Then you can "drag and drop" files on the BB.
    Use the following settings in the option of memory of the storm:

    Card support ON

    NONE encryption mode

    (Storm AND "BOLD" only) Media Transfer Protocol

    WE support mass storage

    Auto enable mass storage support when it is connected TO

  • Can not access the device memory or the SD card

    My app (9500) allows users to select a file from the device memory in the device or SD card. As a base, I used the FileExplorerDemo code that was included in the sample applications. My application seems to work fine on the Simulator, but not on a real device. For those who do not know the FileExplorerDemo he builds the list of directory as follows:

    Private Sub readRoots (root of the chain)
    {
    _parentRoot = root;

    That is clear in the list.
    _list. RemoveAll();

    FileConnection fc = null;
    Enumeration rootEnum = null;

    If (root! = null)
    {
    Open the file system and to obtain the list of directories/files.
    Try
    {
    FC = (FileConnection) Connector.open ("file:///" + root);
    rootEnum = fc.list ();
    }
    catch (Exception ioex)
    {
    }
    Finally
    {

    If (cf! = null)
    {
    Everything is read, be sure to close the connection.
    Try
    {
    FC. Close();
    CF = null;
    }
    catch (Exception ioex)
    {
    }
    }
    }
    }

    It has no root to read, so now we read the roots of the system.
    If (rootEnum is nothing)
    {
    rootEnum = FileSystemRegistry.listRoots ();
    }

    Read the list of directories/files.
    While (rootEnum.hasMoreElements ())
    {
    String file = (String) rootEnum.nextElement ();

    If (root! = null)
    {
    file = root + file;
    }

    readSubroots (file);
    }
    }

    I tried to change the "file:///" "file:///SDCard" and "file:///SDCard/Blackberry" as I saw in some messages here, but I get an empty list. All permissions are set to allow. When I connect the BB I see 2 devices on Windows Explorer: 'Blackberry1' and 'Blackberry2 '. I would give to
    give the user access to these 2 drives. Basically, I'm trying to recreate the functionality of the media browser.

    So I'm pointing to the root of evil or something?

    'file:///SDCard/' must be correct.  Make sure that if you test this with the USB cable connected have you turn off mass storage Mode.  The file system may be exposed to more than one OS at a time.  Basically, if you see the drive letters on the PC, the device will not have access to it.

  • How to recover files deleted from a removable storage device (memory stick)?

    How to recover files deleted from a removable storage device (memory stick)? the only folder to recycle bin is on my network drive, there is none on my memory stick.

    "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
    also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
    Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
    downhill from there if you write other files on the device.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    written on the memory stick immediately, if you did not
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)

    others to choose from; Do a search)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones access to the device memory?

    Hello

    is it possible to access the device through the computer memory? I saw some screenshots where the device itself (I can access the SD card) was introduced as a removable media on a computer device. I would like to be able to drag & drop files directly on the main memory instead of the first on the SD card and then move them on the device to main memory. I would also like to be able to have access to the home\user directory.

    I have enabled the 'thing' of mass storage - I changed from MTP and MSC - I have toggled the SD - I still don't see the device memory.

    Thanks in advance

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how can I access media files stored on the device memory?

    I transferred photos/music from my computer on the device in the device memory files. However when I go to my media files, it only shows items that are stored on the media map.

    Where can I access the files that are stored on the device memory? When I connect to the BB Desktop software I can view, but not the device itself, it seems.

    In addition, where can I find the files that I have inadvertently 'hidden' in the photo options?

  • Map of blackBerry Smartphones transfer Media to the device memory

    I have a few rings I bought and you want to transfer. I update the Mem Card a 8 GB of the 120 MB and you must place these ringtones on the device memory and then put in a larger map and then transfer to the Mem card. Can someone give me some step by step directions if possible. Thank you as always. Eldon

    The media icon > Explore > go to your desired ringtone and don't open it, just highlight it > Menu > move.

    From there you access the memory of your device and drop it into the similar ringtone folder.

    You can also copy off your ringtones on your PC by allowing the storage of mass on your media card Options > Media Card.

    Then plug your BB to the USB port and you should be an option for a removable folder in my computer on your PC.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones the device memory appears not

    I am accessing my device memory via mass storage. But when I connect with mass storage, I can only access the SD card. Happens also when I go into options-> memory - I see there is application memory, and card multimedia, but without memory of the device, as in other phones.

    Control programmatically for file:///store/home/user, shows it exists, and I am able to save files on it. -How to get back my device memory? Any one of these problems?

    Thank you

    Dan.

    Well, although not really a solution/explanation, I discovered I can explore my device memory if I go to the media in my home screen, then press explore - there, I can see all the files and manage them.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - Player cards and SD memory card problem

    Hello!

    There are a few problems with the card reader built into my A300 1NO. If I put an SD (SD or SDHC) inside, he wants to recognize the cards as the XD memory cards. In Device Manager window is therefore a "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Disk Device" listed here, with a yellow exclamation point, and the card is not at all as by car.
    With Memory Sticks, there is no problem, the player manages them almost without problem.

    I tried reinstalling the drivers by running the installation program "Ricoh Card Reader", which is downloadable from the toshiba site, but it did not help.

    So what's next?

    Hello!

    Did you remove the old driver before installing a more recent?
    And you can format the SD card using the Toshiba SD memory?

    Normally, the card reader must be able to read SD and SDHC cards too. Have you tried the cards from different manufacturers?
    I use the SanDisk Extreme III cards, and don t have problem with these cards.

  • BlackBerry Curve 8330 Smartphone saves files in the device memory

    I am an experienced BlackBerry user and currently have a 8330.  I have a micro-SD 4 GB installed and no matter how many times I select 'save on the memory card media', after a few days or an unknown event, the unit will automatically return to the option 'save the media in the device memory.  Sounds like a software problem, then I want to see if anyone else has had the issue.

    Well, there is no problem in the database. My thought is to return the service directories and update the device options. The next would be to charge your device OS.

  • BlackBerry smartphones HELP! The device memory that is missing!

    After installing the Wifi File Transfer, I accidentally renamed the "store /" folder and now I cannot access the memory of the camera on my Curve 8520. Opening of the device memory in the application of files just shows a white screen. I lost all the preloaded images and tones, as well as the photos stored on the onboard memory.

    If I take a picture with the camera and tap Rename, a box will appear with the full path in the memory of the device, which is supposed to be "device memory/home/user/images". I can't access that more. I also can't access "Device memory/samples" that contains the ringtones and images.

    Wipe it and reload the operating system, but you will lose all the images on the device memory making (which SHOULD in the future be saved on press card!).

    I guess however that you renamed the "device memory/home/user / ' directory, you can go back and do it again, I don't really know. I never met anyone who does. It's looks like it's like deleting a directory, that's what you were doing.
