[Yash_Agarwal]

Some Queries Regarding ASD Extension Developed By @bodymindpower

1. The Blocks i used to implement your Extension is correct ?

2. Share button is now not working after using this extension. May be the files located inside the phone directory or any other reason you better know that’s why its not working?. Please also tell me the solution for this issue.

3. The directory in which these files are saved is that also correct ?

4. I am getting an error after sound recording playing completed, is this error linked with your extension ?

5. Is there any way so that user can locate these recording saved files easily in there phone and play ? or any way to make all files visible in the app. ?

6. This extension you made gave no error with the Latest Kodular Version , API 30 and also compatible with Google Play Store Policies ?

7. What Permissions now needed to save and record files using your extension ?

No this error is because somewhere in your procedures you set properties for a switch using a button component. I can not be sure where cause I see how you create procedures but not how you use them

How to open downloaded files in android 11 & above

[Yash_Agarwal]

@bodymindpower sorry for late reply, i was gone out of city.

I am using WavSoundRecoder Extension version 1.0 for better sound recording quality ( by the way you suggested that also months ago )

Now i am using your ASD Extension to save those recording files because as per new android app guidelines u can save file by creating directory in internal storage right ?

1. Now i want to know i am using your Extension correct way ?
2. How to share these files now using Extension ?
3. Is there any way so that user can locate these recording saved files easily in there phone and play ? or any way to make all files visible in the app. ?
4. This extension you made gave no error with the Latest Kodular Version , API 30 and also compatible with Google Play Store Policies ?
5. What Permissions now needed to save and record files using your extension ?

Waiting for your answers

Nice one…

But, I am trying to download the latest file and there is no way to overwrite the file already downloaded. it just created another file as filename-1.jpg.

Thanks in afvance

How to check if an image exists in device storage by path

I would like to introduce these three basic terms: Absolute path │ relative path │ full path 1. This path is an → absolute path: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/packageName/files/ 2.

Download the file only if it doesn’t exist.

[tmohank (mohan)]

I am using this to download the image to use in share component.
Everytime the image could be different depending on what the user selects to share. Hence, I have to overwrite the image.
