Location of data folder?

Android Processing

Hi, I just trying to do:

1. Take a picture using ketai library. --> DONE

2. The photo saves in a folder specified in the library --> DONE

3. Copy to sketch data folder

4. Load Image

But, I'm stuck in 3., because I can't find where the data folder is?

I tried with sketchPath variable, and listing files inside the path, but it doesn't have any subfolders in it. So... Where is that folder?

I did it a lot of times in a PC using

File dataFolder = new File (sketchPath, "data"), and it worked, but in android, there isn't a folder data inside sketchPath folder, so, i'm stuck. Thanks for your help.

The data folder never exists by itself in a sketch folder, you have to create it.
Generic advice, I don't know if it applies to Android...

Yes, I have to create it, but even if I create it, when I run on device, the folder isn't inside the sketchPath folder, I don't know where is created.

Still in the generalities: perhaps you have to put something (eg. an empty text file) in the data folder: some archivers ignore empty directories, so they might not be re-created on the device.
