FileTools : Some tools to work with files

No permission required then, unless user uninstalls your app and tries to access those files with your app.

I recommend you to read this:

Some basics on Android storage system

From an Android point of view there are an → Internal Storage and an → External Storage. 1. Internal Storage The Internal Storage can only be accessed with a rooted device. 1.1 The app package is saved in /data/data/<packageName>/ 1.2. The Private directory is /data/user/0/<packageName>/files/ This private directory can be used with the File component to save / read text (setting the path without a slash). It can only be accessed by your app and is automatically removed when the app is un…

yes I already readed this topic and I got confused for Android sdk 33 there are three permissions read image, read video, read music this confused me for my work wich permission is good to use.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

Are you dealing with media (image , video and audio) files?

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

no only want to create my app folder in shared storage /Download and want to store pdf files in it which are generated by apps.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

I suppose you have found the answer then.

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

hello @vknow360 I need your small help can you give a small update to extention?

I am working with FileListAcync function and found its not loads .exo files it returns only empty List so can you add this functionality to work also with .exo files .

and I didn’t found rename function event block.

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Satvik1

its not loads .exo files

Show file list blocks. This is highly impossible unless you are specifically filtering file types.

@Satvik1

rename function event block.

It is a synchronous method so no need for event.

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

here arey my blocks​.

I also tried with path /storage/emulated/0/Download/Rename
and .exo filter but got same result [ ]
like this.

here the exo files.

[Taifun]

here a slash is missing

Taifun
PS: you are NOT using Kodular…

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

A slash is missing as Taifun pointed out.

Also, you can’t access non-media files without manage all files permission or SAF.

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

yes I am not but using this extension please understand my situation.

but okay I removed that other platform screenshot and Uploaded Kodular platform blocks without changing error generating logic, as per your reply.

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

I updated code with your and Taifun suggestion but got same result empty file list.
I given all file access Permission but not work . I used Dh extension.

The exo files I am trying to retrieve are generated by other app so is that problem generating thread? I copied them in folder named Rename

[Taifun]

@Satvik1

I given all file access Permission

What is that exactly? Please elaborate…
And read Some basics on Android storage system

Taifun

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

I did this changes.

I used Dh extension.

[Taifun]

Any link to that extension?
All I can see, that the extension does not follow the naming conventions…

Try this extension instead

• Extension to add MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission into the manifest by BodyMindPower

Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google.

Also you first have to grant permission before being able to get a result…

And: try it after building the app…

Taifun

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

it available on Dh store.
can I ask you a question how you replied on specific text?

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Taifun

Any link to that extension?

Dh means deep host

[Satvik1 (Satvik)]

Oh! Thank You Taifun for

Extension to add MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission into the manifest 1 by BodyMindPower

this works for me all solved.

FileListAcync function loading files but not 1 by 1. it loads random exo files. is there any way to load them 1 by 1?

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Satvik1

No, all files will be returned.
