How to open downloaded files in android 11 & above

#111

@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 :slight_smile:

@Yash_Agarwal Create the smallest possible test aia and post it or send it to me via PM. Btw, if you mention an extension, always refer to it with a link.

5 posts were split to a new topic: I can no longer establish connection

#114

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.
Can I use the file component to delete. Will the app need WRITE Permission for this?

Thanks in afvance

needs / uses a relative path, see also here:

Set image from storage not working , need help
#121

Download the file only if it doesn’t exist.

#122

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.

#123

What’s the problem if this file (image) already exists? Or does this image exist with the same file name and different content? If so, just delete this file before starting the download.

For the url parameter in the DownloadtoASD block, can’t we use a variable instead of writing the url in a text block. I get the following error by using a global variable as url to download a file (the variable contains the url in text form). I tried a url with text form and it works fine. Correct me if my method is wrong or is there an alternative to use variable?
This works fine:

This gives the below mentioined error:

yes of course

make sure, the value of that global variable is a correct url… according to the eror message it looks like the value of that variable was an empty string…

what about using Do it to debug your blocks?
