Hello

I come back to this discussion, because there is another obscure point in my
mind
=> Is it possible to write a file to a usb key, though the tutorial says
that there the activity can only acess its data/instance/temp folder ?

Apologizes if my question is too evident and unusefull . But i don't feel
yet ready for developping serailisation/sharing part of my app

Regards
