Adobe Air native extensions and IO operations

Question

I need to wrap a C library with Adobe AIR native extension API (ANE).The extension should target IOS and Android.First,I realize that for Android , if not using NDK API , I have to port that library to Java.But my main concern is IO operations like read and write to file system which exist in that library.I read through the ANE development manual but found no note on restriction of native lib communication with the host file system.Does it mean my native library is allowed to read and write files inside AIR extension freely ?

Answer 1

You definitely can access the filesystem to read and write files.

The only thing of note here is that you'll only have access to the parts of the filesystem that the application has permission to access. So you basically just have to obey any restrictions that a normal native application developer has.

I've used the java.io.File to access files in ANE's no problem.
