Description

Can not read tempDirectory file without External storage permissions.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a classic project. 2. Paste this code on app.js file. 3. Run it on android 6 device.

Test Case

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor : '#ffffff'
});
var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
	top : 10,
	width : 200,
	height : 50,
	title : "Read files"
});
win.add(button);

var f = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory, 'fileter.txt');
f.write('writing to the file would be enough to create it');

button.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
	alert(f.read());

});

win.open();

[~Ricardo][~sliang], Can one of you guys please look into this and update ?

Looks like there is a bug that is happening. It first reads the writes the file. It works fine. But after that, the file gets removed... Perhaps it is being in the tempDirectory and it was being emptied.

Hi [~cng]/[~msamah], Could you please provide an ETA on this? Thanks

Will say that the example in this ticket is not the best example to use tempDirectory. Related links: [https://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Filesystem-property-tempDirectory] [https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/23c9e3fb93694950d33a8b4b79fbb2129ff9001b/android/runtime/common/src/java/org/appcelerator/kroll/util/TiTempFileHelper.java#L24-L28] The temp files are cleared at the start, when restarted and when it is deemed necessary. In this example, the file is created before the window opens. After the window opens, the file is cleared out as it is temporary. Instead if you were to use this:

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor : '#ffffff'
   });
   var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	top : 10,
   	width : 200,
   	height : 50,
   	title : "Read files"
   });
   win.add(button);
   
   var button2 = Ti.UI.createButton({
   	top : 100,
   	width : 200,
   	height : 50,
   	title : "Create file"
   });
   win.add(button2);
    
   
    
   button2.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	var f = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory, 'fileter.txt');
   	f.write('writing to the file would be enough to create it');
    
   });
   button.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
   	var ss = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory, 'fileter.txt');
   	alert(ss.read() + ' - '+ Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory);
    
   });
    
   win.open();

The file will stay there till the app restarts. It is a tempDirectory, thus it's only temporary.

Will be resolving this issue as it's behaving as expected.
