Where exactly is the IsolatedStorage on the android devices. I would have expected it

  • 0

Where exactly is the IsolatedStorage on the android devices. I would have expected it to be in the /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/[packagename]/ location, but it is not. I used the File Explorer (from eclipse) to try and find it, but I can’t.

If I can somehow load a html page into the WebView or play a video from IsolatedStorage, then I won’t need this actual path. But, I don’t want to copy the movie to a temporary location in order to play it, I might as well just store it on the SD Card.

The reason I am using IsolatedStorage is to minimize the custom code across the platforms, I am developing for the Windows Phone, which only allows for IsolatedStorage.

    I found that IsolatedStorageFile points towards internal memory only.

    I used the Context.GetFilesDir() and the Context.GetExternalFilesDir() depending on the user’s selection.
