Remarks

Returns the absolute path of this file. An absolute path is a path that starts at a root of the file system. On Android, there is only one root: /.

A common use for absolute paths is when passing paths to a Process as command-line arguments, to remove the requirement implied by relative paths, that the child must have the same working directory as its parent.
