[android-developers] Re: KillProcessesWithOpenFiles

Hi,

I have a small doubt.

I have one file handler, which is created by opening a file on SD
card.
If i listen to SD card unmount broad cast.

Can i close the file handler without my appliaction is being closed
by android system ?

Is there any grace period of time when we receive SD card unmount
broad cast to
close any file handlers related to SD card?

Thanks in advance ...
