Cache directory doesn't exist

Question

how is it possible that context.getApplicationContext().getCacheDir() returns null? As far as I know the internal cache directory should always exist.

Thanks!

Answer 1

maybe it returns null since you don't have enough internal storage? try to also use getExternalCacheDir

also , if it doesn't work , simply go to the path.

the standard is that it should give you the path "/data/data/YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME/cache/" , and if you want the external storage cache , it should give you the path "EXTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH/Android/data/YOUR_APP_PACKAGE_NAME/cache/" .
