When the user takes a camera, the file is stored in the tempDirectory folder. The file is renamed and the moved to an appImages folder (in the applicationDataDirectory). This http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Filesystem_Access_and_Storage was helpful.
The code below fully works with Android, but with iOS the files are only renamed, but not moved. Any ideas?
var fs = Ti.Filesystem;
var imageDir = fs.getFile(fs.applicationDataDirectory,'appImages');
if (! imageDir.exists()) {
imageDir.createDirectory();
}
var tempFile = fs.getFile(fs.tempDirectory,timeStamp + "_" + registeredUserID + "_nomination.jpg");
tempFile.rename(nid + "_" + registeredUserID + "_nomination.jpg"); //renames nomination image
tempFile = fs.getFile(fs.tempDirectory,nid + "_" + registeredUserID + "_nomination.jpg"); //gets the new handler
tempFile.move("appImages/" + nid + "_" + registeredUserID + "_nomination.jpg"); //moves nomination image
var tempListAfter = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.tempDirectory).getDirectoryListing();
Ti.API.info("tempListAfter AFTER moving: " + JSON.stringify(tempListAfter));
var appImagesListAfter = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory,'appImages').getDirectoryListing();
Ti.API.info("appImagesListAfter AFTER moving: " + JSON.stringify(appImagesListAfter)); //iOS results an empty array, but works in Android and shows the properly named files in Android
tempFile = tempThumbFile = null;
solution based on Mituls suggestion:
tempFile.move(imageDir.nativePath + nid + "_" + registeredUserID + "_nomination.jpg");
I think you should use imageDir.nativePath to move tempFile like
tempFile.move(imageDir.nativePath);
