No I think this extension is working well in app Inventor so there is no problem with kodular even if their Update

correct, later you will have to use the App Inventor version, which already uses AndroidX
Extension to download a file to ASD without WRITE permission by BodyMindPower (for App Inventor)

Can you please tell me what URL it will generate means file path

For ex = I want to access my file in web viewer so I need this type of URL : file:///storage…

If any user use file manager it can find this file or not???

Taifun · April 9, 2021, 10:06pm

you can find it in Android 10 or below
starting from Android 11 in a file manager the directory /Android/data will be displayed as “no data available”

The directory and the files can of course be accessed from the PC via a USB connection.

but sometimes (not everytime) while copying files i got this error
However it works fine…

@bodymindpower THANKS for the extension
It is working fine.

Suggestion :-
Can you please add When DownloadToASD1.Unsuccessful Yellow box in next update as in my project it’s needed.

@bodymindpower Is app specific directory automatically created in every phone upon app installation?

bodymindpower · April 22, 2021, 5:55pm

Yes, I guess so.

After downloading some images to ASD, when I try to set the source of image to the downloaded image path, it is asking for accessing permission.

bodymindpower · April 24, 2021, 6:16am

The Image component requires READ permission. (→ Shouldn’t be like that .)
Therefore you must ask for READ permission (in this case).
