在LINUX下每个文件都有一个权限的属性 ，那么在Android中怎么用java改变某个文件的权限呢？

 

 Android中有两种方法可以改变文件的权限

 1. 用openFileOutput方法：

FileOutputStream fos;  fos = openFileOutput("filename", MODE_WORLD_READABLE); 

 android.content. .openFileOutput( name, int mode) throws

Open a private file associated with this Context's application package for writing. Creates the file if it doesn't already exist.

 

可用的mode 参数如下：

    /**

     * File creation mode: the default mode, where the created file can only

     * be accessed by the calling application (or all applications sharing the

     * same user ID).

     * @see #MODE_WORLD_READABLE

     * @see #MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE

     */

    public static final int MODE_PRIVATE = 0x0000;

    /**

     * File creation mode: allow all other applications to have read access

     * to the created file.

     * @see #MODE_PRIVATE

     * @see #MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE

     */

    public static final int MODE_WORLD_READABLE = 0x0001;

    /**

     * File creation mode: allow all other applications to have write access

     * to the created file.

     * @see #MODE_PRIVATE

     * @see #MODE_WORLD_READABLE

     */

    public static final int MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE = 0x0002;

    /**

     * File creation mode: for use with {@link #openFileOutput}, if the file

     * already exists then write data to the end of the existing file

     * instead of erasing it.

     * @see #openFileOutput

     */

    public static final int MODE_APPEND = 0x8000;

 

其实该方法最终还是调用了系统的chmod来实现的改变文件权限的功能。

但是该方法有局限性，他创建的文件只能位于该程序的私有目录下，即/data/data/app-package/files/

 

2. 用Runtime.getRuntime().exec()

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 644 " + filename);

该方法调用系统命令chmod来改变文件的权限，为了能判断命令的返回值，最好写成：

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 644 " + filename);  int status = p.waitFor();  if (status == 0) {      //chmod succeed  } else {      //chmod failed  }
