```
boolean isWritable()
```
    Return whether the contents of this resource can be modified, e.g. via getOutputStream() or Resource.getFile().
    Will be true for typical resource descriptors; note that actual content writing may still fail when attempted. However, a value of false is a definitive indication that the resource content cannot be modified.
