Not all Android phones can support Google Maps. This is because of 2 missing files, namely: com.google.android.maps.jar & com.google.android.maps.xml. How do I add these files to the etc and framework folder of Android. I want to do the file transfer programmatically.

Is it possible to add files in the system memory? If not, can you give viable solution for Google Maps compatability.

    Android does not have a native file browser, But there are numerous third-party ones (Astro comes to mind).

    The filesystem of Android is that of Linux;

    The path separator is / and the FS grows from a single root called /. So, you have your app packages under /data/apps, and so forth.

    Unless the phone is jailbroken ("rooted"), you won’t get to see the whole filesystem – permissions get in the way.

    This applies to all Android applications, they are sandboxed – that is, they don’t get access the whole filesystem. There are API calls to get the path to the current application’s sandbox directory.
