If not dot files lazy programmers would have just found another way. Just look at the results of lazy programmers on any Android SD card.


Is there a preferred standard for using the SD/external storage on Android?

> I do find it odd that so many apps have this problem. It's trivially easy to get the proper location. Just call getExternalFilesDir() . Deletion at uninstall happens automatically. In fact, it's the ONLY way to make sure those files are deleted when you uninstall, because you can't run code at uninstallation.


Probably because it came in fairly late (Froyo, I think).


Yay, I am one of them.
