I don’t think it is even possible…but you can give more details so that I can fix bugs if there is any…

It is quite confusing…you should elaborate more…

I think when we use delete file component and set path to empty it will delete all files…

#45

No it will not delete all files if path is set to empty…but it will delete all files if path is set to / because it is path toroot folder which contains all files of SD card.

Thank for the extension.

Could you please assist me to delete a file in the APK?

Both companions and APK return file exists=true but only in companion delete successfully.

I think it needs write permission.
Ask this permission at screen initialize:
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

@vknow360 @Taifun
These blocks do not return a list of files from the assets from Kodular (with Companion):
/storage/emulated/0/Makeroid/assets/…

grafik

If there is an AppInventor folder: /storage/emulated/0/AppInventor/assets/…
these blocks return a list of the files in that (AI) assets folder.

How many errors and problems have already been caused by this unnecessary name change from “AppInventor” to “Makeroid”?

well, uncountable errors… :wink:
this once was the decision of Kodular formerly known as Makeroid… see also

and after the rebranding to Kodular now everybody is wondering, where does that Makeroid folder come from?

Yes, this further name change (from Makeroid to Kodular) doesn’t make it better and certainly not easier to understand.

#55

sometimes you make decisions and later you find out, that it was not a good one…
same with the 2 different sound components (Sound and Player) in App Inventor…
we have to take it as it is…

I think not, but you can zip a folder with a password(not with this extension).

Simply you can’t (Learn Why?)
But you can do this:

And thank you @DevYB for giving me an awesome idea.
