    <p>I am developing an app which has a splash screen that downloads a couple of files, before the files start to download I want to check whether the files already exist or not, and if they exist I want to delete them. The code shown below contains the right file paths and the function to check if the file exists seems to work as the read out in Logcat states "file deleted". </p> <p>However when I check on the phone itself I see that whenever I launch the app 2 more files are added to the folder with the same file name but with increasing numbers </p> <p>e.g. Launch 1... I get </p> <pre><code>clientraw.txt clientrawextra.txt </code></pre> <p>Launch 2... I get </p> <pre><code>clientraw.txt clientrawextra.txt clientraw-1.txt clientrawextra-1.txt </code></pre> <p>and so on.....</p> <p>Therefore it would seem the delete function isn't working, any help would be appreciated!</p> <pre><code>//Code that checks if the clientraw.txt file already exists, if so the file is deleted File sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); File file = new File(sdCard.getAbsolutePath() + "/Download", client); Log.d("file path", String.valueOf(file)); if (file.exists()) { file.delete(); Log.d("file", "file deleted"); } File sdCardextra = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(); File fileextra = new File(sdCardextra.getAbsolutePath() + "/Download", clientextra); if (fileextra.exists()) { fileextra.delete(); Log.d("file", "file deleted"); } ready(); </code></pre> <p>It seems that it doesn't delete the file fast enough? When I get rid of the <code>ready();</code> method (The method that downloads the files) it does delete the files fine, so I'm thinking that the files start downloading before the previous files are deleted really stuck on this one?!</p>

    2. COprint file.getAbsolutePath() in log and confirm the file path. If file exists in that path, file.delete() has to delete that file. Also, you can check boolean returned by file.delete().

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
