Accessing images stored as assets

Now I get a Permission Denied Error

@Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi

Now I get a Permission Denied Error

Did you give read/write permissions for external storage as indicated in the details for the file extension?

Description

This extension is related to the file component.
Required permissions: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

Hi, I read the file extension doc and didn’t see anything about permissions.

Please can you show me how to grant permissions

Thanks

[TimAi2 (metricrat)]

(this will give both read and write permissions)

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

Now Im really getting annoyed.

It doesn’t complain but it STILL doesn’t insert the new picture

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

Q1. Sould I write kodular or AppInventor?

Q2. Is EXTERNAL storage correct?

What if I dont have an SD Card???

[TimAi2 (metricrat)]

These blocks work for me in companion on Android 11 device

They do not work for a compiled app, because you have to feed the ASD to the storage location and the image path.

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

@TimAi2

feed the ASD to the storage location and the image path.

I have no idea what you are talking about…

I need it for a compiled app so what else do I need to do???

Im so lost

Any help withe ASD

@Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi in your response here…

Accessing images stored as assets

Q1. Sould I write kodular or AppInventor? Q2. Is EXTERNAL storage correct? [image] What if I dont have an SD Card???

I recognize that in your path, you have “kodular.” There was a name change back in 2018, however the folder name never got switched. Use “Makeroid” instead.

@Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi

What if I dont have an SD Card???

Android will rewrite your path without telling you…

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

@hammerhai

Use “Makeroid” instead.

Thank you, Ive just done it.
Lets see

This is all you need (Companion & APK):

Note: This will no longer work for new apps when Kodular targets Android 11 (Aug 2021) with Android ≥ 10.

Thank you very very much

Really appreciate your help

Hi Tim

Is there a limit as to how many instances of the FILE EXT you can use in an app. (im using x 10)

Beyond 3 and noting works even though I’ve checked and rechecked my code dozens of times

Thanks

and each instance has one of these

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

Hi,

Please can you look at my last reply in this thread

Everything you said worked 100% up to the fourth instance and after that it failed.

I have a feeling it might be the size of the memory or the extension or anything

I’m using x 10 instances but it fails

Any help appreciated

[hammerhai (Nathan)]

Why do you need 10 instances of one extension? Just use one.

[dora_paz (Dora)]

Also your blocks are wrong

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

I don’t understand what you are referring to…

The value woont be empty. It will either have a “0” or a "1"

It works for the first three instances and not after that

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

why would three (3) work and not 4 +?

[Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi]

If I re-use the same instance the program fails on compile

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@Avraham_Yerachmielbenzvi

why would three (3) work and not 4 +

What doesn’t work? Are the images not copied?
If so, then there is something wrong with your blocks.
