Description

While developing GWT-phonegap applications for Android Tablet, we discovered the following:

Upon the initial loading of the app (a fresh install) system.root.isDirectory of the FileAPI returns False, rendering the FileAPI inoperable.

After backing out (back button) and reloading the app, system.root.isDirectory then returns True and the FileAPI begins to work properly.
