[Solved] iOS and Android Writeable and Persistent folders ??

PSI_lbc

I'm trying to write some XML and CSV format files to my Nexxus7 device. I can write to the device and any files that are written can be accessed during the debug session.

On restarting the program wth the Qt debugger, files created are NOT there.

On tapping the icon on the device to restart, any file created during the debug session is there.

Are files created during a debug session not persistent? If so, is there any way to change this behavior?

I've tried all the following data/documents with the same results...

/*
  // paths that could be used to read or write user records and app startup-restore configuration
  QString docsPathW = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation);
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::writableLocation::DocumentsLocation: " << docsPathW ;

  QString dataPathW = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation);
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::writableLocation::DataLocation: " << dataPathW ;

  // the generic data directory..always available per qt docs..no test for ifexists needed ??
  QString genericdataPath = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation)[0];
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::standardpath::GenericDataLocation: " << genericdataPath ;

  // the cache directory..always available per qt docs..no test for ifexists needed ??
  QString cachePath = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::CacheLocation)[0];
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::standardpath::CacheLocation: " << cachePath ;

  // the generic cache directory..always available per qt docs..no test for ifexists needed ??
  QString genericcachePath = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::GenericCacheLocation)[0];
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::standardpath::GenericCacheLocation: " << genericcachePath ;

  // the home directory..always available per qt docs..no test for ifexists needed ??
  QString homepath = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::HomeLocation)[0];
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::standardpath::HomeLocation: " << homepath ;

  // the documents directory..always available per qt docs..no test for ifexists needed ??
  QString docsPath = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::DocumentsLocation)[0];
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::standardpath::DocumentsLocation: " << docsPath ;

  // the data directory..not specified if always available per qt docs..test for ifexists needed ??
  QString dataPath = QStandardPaths::standardLocations(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)[0];
  qDebug() << "--Main.cpp::standardpath::DataLocation: " << dataPath ;
*/
  // the documents directory..always available per qt docs..no test for ifexists needed ??
  QString docsPath = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DocumentsLocation);
  qDebug() << "Main.cpp::standardpath::DocumentsLocation: " << docsPath ;

  // the data directory..not specified if always available per qt docs..test for ifexists needed ??
  QString dataPath = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DataLocation);
  qDebug() << "--Main.cpp::standardpath::DataLocation: " << dataPath ;

What is your Qt Creator and Qt version? That may happen for old version of Qt Creator for Android. It did a uninstall of package before install new one. Therefore, it will remove files within the package directory. But new version should not have this problem.
