使用Java在Android中重命名文件的替代方法

Question

Is there another way to rename a file without using using File.renameTo method? also, I am new to android, so asking this question : Is there a way to rename a file without making the code to open that file?

I want to just rename the file, not open it or copy its contents.

Answer 1

Try this: Renaming the file by moving it to a new name. (FileUtils is from Apache Commons IO lib)

  String newFilePath = oldFile.getAbsolutePath().replace(oldFile.getName(), "") + newName;
  File newFile = new File(newFilePath);

  try {
    FileUtils.moveFile(oldFile, newFile);
  } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
