Flush Mtp Connection With Android Tablet?

I connect a Samsung Galaxy Android tablet with a USB cable to computer running Windows 7. It connects using MTP. Step 1. Copy my SQLite database from Windows 7 to tablet via Wind

Solution 1:

Use this function of windows as shown by this DELPHI example.

procedure shCopyFile(hWndOwner: HWND; const SourceFile, TargetFile: string); var Info : TSHFileOpStruct; Aborted : Bool; begin Aborted := False;

with Info do begin Wnd := hWndOwner; wFunc := FO_COPY;

// From Microsoft's Help: // wFunc = Operation to perform. This member can be one of the following values: // FO_COPY Copies the files specified by pFrom to the location specified by pTo. // FO_DELETE Deletes the files specified by pFrom (pTo is ignored). // FO_MOVE Moves the files specified by pFrom to the location specified by pTo. // FO_RENAME Renames the files specified by pFrom. pFrom := pChar(SourceFile); pTo := pChar(TargetFile); fFlags := 0; fFlags := FOF_SILENT or FOF_NOCONFIRMATION or FOF_NOERRORUI; fAnyOperationsAborted := Aborted; end; try SHFileOperation(Info); finally if Aborted then; enact upon any user cancellations end; end;

I'm copying file from Desktop to Android MTP device PATH

Solution 2:

I have found exact the same problem on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.

But in my oppinion it is a problem on the android side.

If I force the application which opens the db to stop (System Settings->app manager->my app->force stopp) then it works.

Only "open connection" and "close connection" isn't enough. The complete process on the android-side has to be closed.

This explains why it works after restarting the device.

Further investigation: It works perfectly with Galaxy Tab and 4.1.2 (if App-process is closed). It works with MTP but not PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). Both protocols are connecting with WPD-function but PTP is quite inconsistent when writing and reading (so never ever use PTP).
