I am trying give a name for a file that I am creating. I just want to know that
what is the max file name length in Android ?
Is there a specification for a file name? Can I use characters like - or > ?
About the characters: Reading here, looks like
-is not a reserved character, so it may be used.>however, is reserved therefore may not be used.About the maximum length: Since I couldn’t find anything specific to Android, and since java does not restrict the length of a file name it works with (As you can see here), I’d say the maximum length is like the most widely used limit, which is 255 bytes.
