Yes, now it works also with the APK.
Hi Sunny
Nice work in this extension.
Two matters to bring to your attention:
-
Block feature for FileOrFolderSize always shows 0 even when I direct the filepath to 'permitted directory i.e. “file:///Documents/data.txt”
-
When I uninstall apk app and reinstall it, most if not all of the features like Append, Delete, Create, Save etc will not work until I delete the directory and retry. It’s like that directory is locked.
Any means to resolve above will be appreciated.

- Which Android version?
- Which folder?
- What types of files are there?
- The path
file:///Documents/data.txtdoes not exist. Use either a relative path or an absolute path or a (correct) full path. - Show you blocks.

This path is wrong. If a path starts from file:// then you must specify the absolute file path but what you mentioned is neither absolute nor abstract/relative.
None of the above mentioned operations exists in FileTools extension.
Probably they are related to File component.
For more questions see the above post. 
Thanks both for reply.
I use Android 11.
Target Folder for text file is meant to ‘/Documents’ directory or its sub-directory e.g. /Documents/xyz.
I use combination extensions from Filetools and eFile, see blocks.
On the wrong path, what is the correct file path to set to absolute file because it works initially before uninstall & reinstall?
I attach the blocks and apk for mutual convenience.

File.apk (5.4 MB)
this is because after uninstall the app is not owner of the files anymore… and after reinstall it is like the files have been created by another app…
it might be, that after reinstall you still can access the files using the SAF extension

Thank you Taifun
I use lots of your extensions.
Will check out the SAF option.
Best rgds, KC
As @Taifun said, if a non-media file was created in one of the shared folders, this file can no longer be accessed after uninstalling and reinstalling the app, because the app “has no reminder” that this file was created by the app. In this respect, I have been solving the problem since targetSdk = 30 by always appending a timestamp to the file name.
(Another way is of course to save it in the ASD.)

This block does not return the exact path of the file, it returns /storage/emulated/0/file.pdf when it is actually in /storage/emulated/0/download/file.pdf, how can I make it return the real path? ?
It will return complete file name/path instead of correct file name/path. The method just prefixes external storage path and does not check if file really exists there or not.
hello, i have a problem with the extension. I don’t get a list, I have permission to save
Remove file://

If you trying it in Android 11 then you need to grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission from Settings.
If not granted then you will only get list of folders and files created by app itself.

Move file from (location)
To (location)
You can no longer write / save in any folder of the external storage on Android 11. You have to copy / move it (a non-media file) to one of the Shared folders (/Download or /Documents).
