Question

In my task i need to read and write the file in Raw folder. I did the first one to read the file from my project, Now i want to Write the same file. So it easy for me to make any update in that file.

On Seeing this How to write files to assets folder or raw folder in android?

I allow the user to set password ie writing the pass into the file then read the pass and validate if it matches. Is it possible to Write file in Raw Folder

Answer 1

Any data present in the “res” folder is not writable. You can only read data from it. You can never write data to res folder on the fly. If you are looking for a way to store username and password credentials, you can make use of Shared Prefrence

Here is an example on how to use it.

Edit 1

Storing data in Shared Preference is persistent unless user clears the data using “clear data” button in your settings page.Navigate to settings->manage apps->your app. Here you will be seeing uninstall button and clear data button. And one more thing in android is you will never be able to save a persistent data. You can’t use any data storage methods like preference, sqlite or file system to store a data for permanent. If user wants to wipe the data he clicks on “Clear Data” button and your data are gone. So you have make your coding in such a way to handle this.

Since this is not possible, you could try to use your app’s resources which is write protected and not possible to write to it. So it depends on user or you might have to use your server to store the data over there.
