Hi Folks,

I have installed the latest 1.6 JDK and set eclipse to use it's JRE, but File.setReadable does not compile. Can anyone think of why that would be the case?

Have I missed something in the config / prefs?

Thanks for your help
All the best,
Ash

Your Java project probably has a different JRE on its Java Build Path.

Thanks Dani,

I have just realised what the problem is, It's because Android have implemented the standard java.io.File class and didn't bother allowing File.setReadable until API level 9 (I am using API level 8 ).

See here for details: - developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File.html#setReadable(boolean)

(Sorry can't post links until i've posted 5 msgs)

All the best,
Ash
