Is it possible that the user downloads a file from a website and it goes into the app root directory. I have the user download a pdf file from the website and it should go directly in to a specific folder, so that the app has control over the downloaded files and not get scattered. Any help will be grateful.
No, the app root directory is not writeable. You should either put it in
/data/data/{package name}
which is the private storage directory for your app or
/sdcard/Android/data/{package name}/files
which is the public storage directory for your app.
