Question

This may be a silly question:

I’m looking to serialize an object as a once-off to then use that thereafter as a resource (deserializing each time it’s read). How can I write this serialized object once so I can access it from the PC and put it in the /res/raw folder (where it will then always just be read in and deserialized)?

I’ve tried:

                 try
                 {
                   FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + "/solver.sol"));
                   ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
                   out.writeObject(solver);
                   out.close();
                 }
                 catch(IOException ex)
                 {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
                 }

Aswell as placing <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> in the AndroidManifest.xml
But I can’t access it from my PC to place it in the resources folder?

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Try…

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()

…instead of .toString()
