The File API enables third party developers to create Java applications
that can use File Server services such as opening and writing files. The S60
Second Edition FP 2 and later and
Series 40 2nd Edition and later platforms include an implementation
of FileConnection Optional Package 1.0 as defined in
Optional Packages for the J2ME Platform (JSR-75
specification).
The Java Platform for both S60 and Series 40 provides the following File API interfaces/features:
FileConnection interface for accessing
files or directories located on file systems on a device or removable media.
Device internal file systems in RAM or ROM may also be accessed through this
class in case the accessing MIDlet belongs to the Manufacturer domain.
FileSystemListener interface for receiving
status notification when adding or removing a file system root.
FileSystemRegistry class for file system
listeners interested in the adding and removing (or mounting and unmounting)
of file systems on a device.
The Java Platform for S60 provides the following File API interfaces/features:
Support for accessing DRM protected files. For more information on this feature, see section DRM support
