make Folder in sdcard with password protected: android
android
Solution
I'd like to suggest a different/feasible approach, Encrypt your file!
Look at this answer!
Even if you are successful in implementing a password protection (Wow!) here are the cons,
- This will only protect when your app is running.
- SD cards are supposed to be transferred(Hence your app cannot protect the files on SDcard always).
