Yes, i can't delete this file from the Android device just because it was assigned to Gdx.audio.newMusic()

If i want to delete the file, generally i can do it safely, but if i assign it via Gdx.audio.newMusic() then i can no longer delete it.

(this is the piece of code working 100%)

public class TEST_Android
{
    public static Music M = null;

    // *** Test: Delete-file WITHOUT assignment ***
    //
    public void TEST_A()
    {
        Gdx.files.local("PurpleRain.ogg").delete();                // work 100%
        //
        // --- i've checked the file on Android mobile and is NOT present
        // --- has been deleted correctly
    }



    // *** Test: Delete-file AFTER assignment ***
    //
    public void TEST_B()
    {
        M = Gdx.audio.newMusic(Gdx.files.local("PurpleRain.ogg")); // work 100%
        M.play();                                                  // work 100%
        M.stop();                                                  // work 100%

        M.delete();                                                // doesn't work!
        //
        // --- i've checked the file on Android mobile and is ever present!
        // --- not deleted...
    }
}
  • Aim - i need to delete the file after assignment(in some way)
  • Question - how can i delete the file after assigning it to Gdx.audio.newMusic()? Eventually if i had to disconnect it how should i do?

Could you help me please? Thank you all

The Music class does not have a delete method so obviously you can not call that. You can try calling its #dispose Method and try deleting it via Gdx.files.local("PurpleRain.ogg").delete(); which may, or may not work.

This seems like a strange thing to do however, are you sure you need to delete the file?
