How to request and grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

In this guide I show you, how to request and grant → MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on devices with Android 11+. Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google. However, let’s assume the app is only intended for private use or for special users or for other app stores . This permission must be declared in the Manifest ( since it is not declared the Companion app you can’t test this with Companion): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> Here is a…

[Taifun]

Some basics on Android storage system

I have added another detail to my overview (top right, see pink box) and thus completed the overview. (I hope. ) [grafik]

How do I get the content of a file back so I can show it to
the video player

[Squirtman6]

I didn’t see an option for adding a file. Could that maybe be added?
If that’s what a directory is for, let me know.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

That feature is not available in this extension, as you can use the File component.

Hey guys,

First I would like to congratulate vknow360 for the initiative to create this extension that should even be native to Kodular!

I’m having trouble creating a folder on my smartphone’s sdcard (Android 8.1)
In Companion I am using it to create a Folder through “Create Directory” /sdcard/Posto and I see that it creates a folder sdcard/Posto in the internal storage
Also I can’t copy anything to that folder by “Copy File”

I ask for everyone’s help

@Eduardo_Ongarelli

I’m having trouble creating a folder on my smartphone’s sdcard

The external removable sdcard is only readable, see also How do I download to SD card?

[Eduardo_Ongarelli (EduardoBR)]

Thank you for answering me, Taifun

But, how do I copy files to a folder created in the internal storage of the smartphone by the File Tools extension of member vKnow360 ???
It’s not working in my project!!!

I’m wanting to make a “backup” of some file that would be to an sdcard or in an internal storage folder

Thanks from Brazil

Follow the Some basics on Android storage system

What about providing a screenshot of your relevant blocks?

[Eduardo_Ongarelli (EduardoBR)]

Hi guys

follow my blocks…

Try to backup to shared storage rather than /Android/data/Comb

Taifun

[Eduardo_Ongarelli (EduardoBR)]

Hello Taifun,

The destination folder is exactly this… /Android/data/Comb, but it doesn’t work

I am copying an image file as a test, but the folder is created and the file is not copied.

In fact, I want to copy the table file created by SQLite to another location and then be able to restore it to the app folder.
