EFile : Only asks for permissions when required

[bodymindpower (Anke)]

@vknow360

The only difference between File component and the extension is that the extension does not asks for write permission if you want to write to Application Specific Directory

That’s great.

@vknow360

and read permission if you want to read from Assets.

This should be no difference anymore, after @Kodular resoved this bug.
I’m sure they will do it.

@vknow360

extension does not asks for write permission if you want to write to Application Specific Directory and read permission if you want to read from Application Specific Directory or Assets

Means, this will work without asking write permission?

If more people get involved here, we might be able to get Kodular to deal with the permission question if you want to use an app-specific directory to avoid READ / WRITE permissions.

My very first post in the Kodular Forum already raised this question in early 2019.

READ_ / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions / app-Specific (Private) External Storage

Hello especially to the developers, for several reasons I want to switch from App Inventor to Kodular. Unfortunately, Kokular also has a permission issue (READ_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) when saving to an app-specific folder. I have already posted this issue in the App Inventor Forum, but have not received a satisfactory answer. I would like to save files in the so-called “app-specific (private) external storage”. According to Google, this does not require READ_ / WRITE_EXTERNAL STORAGE permissio…

Hello! First of all, I want to thank you for this extension. I learned about it thanks to bodymindpower. In my application there was a glitch associated with file blocks. When I replaced them with file blocks from your extension, the problem disappeared.

But when I added your extansion to my application and built it, when I tried to install the APK on a ZTE smartphone (Android 7), I received the following message, “Blocked by Play protection. Play protection could not find information about the developer. Applications from unknown developers may be unsafe.” Accordingly, if I click OK, then the application does not install. And if I choose “Install anyway”, then everything is OK.

Has anyone come across a similar one? I have noticed that this message appeared exactly after I added the file blocks from your extension. Did it just happen to me? Dear users, who also use this extension, can you check your applications?

Once again, I want to emphasize that this is a very good extension. I just want to understand what this message is connected with and how to avoid it.

Thanks so much for giving this amazing extension

@RusBoriska

I received the following message, “Blocked by Play protection.

what about doing a search in the community?

Why showing a message" blocked by play protect" when i install the apk

when i export my apk and installing to my phone then one dialouge box is coming with " Blocked by play protect". …Why this is happening?..How to resolve this type of problem ?..plz guide me or help me.

@RusBoriska This warning is no longer displayed after your app has been published in the Play Store or after you have de-, recompiled and signed the APK yourself. See here:

Play Protect: Please tell me how to solved this problem? but for the users not me

See here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/play$20protect|sort:date/mitappinventortest/Pydt1hRvgZo/oqCFwcayCQAJ I’ve checked the simplest of them and it works: "The solution lies in creating a new key when generating the signed apk. this worked for me without a fuss. click on Build click generate signed Bundle/APK… choose either Bundle / APK (in my case APK) and click Next click on create new (make sure you have a keystore path on the machine) after everything, …

[RusBoriska]

Thank you. Just before that, I tested several of my applications and never received such a notification, so yesterday I decided that it was connected with this extension. Yes, of course, when the applications are tested, I will upload them to the PlayStore.

Excellent extension! I was scratching my head for a week trying to finish a game because I didn’t want it to ask for permissions to read a simple csv file from the assets.

Thank you very much for making this extension.
