Kindly elaborate more.

See like i want all cache folders size plus (+) in one label okay ! But i am able to grab only one folder size but i want all folder but only cache folder size .

Like these are all folders in android/data/

And i want only specific size of cache folder of all folder in one label.

Hi
Maybe this can help you:

get list of folders from /Android/data folder
for each folder check if path/cache/ exists or not
if it exists then add its size to a variable
when loop ends set label’s text to variable’s value

vknow360 · August 8, 2020, 10:16am

Use math block.

Yash_Agarwal_376 · August 8, 2020, 10:52am

@vknow360 in which format the size return
Means in kb or in mb or in bytes or bits.

vknow360 · August 8, 2020, 11:21am

It returns the file size in bytes.

i follow your steps but got only 1 app cache size everytime it’s give only youtube cache size
what to do next when i put loop in each item block it’s give same things (only youtube cache size ).

result i got

268.3028 mb is the size of YouTube cache folder size

vknow360 · August 8, 2020, 11:26am

Initialize a local variable.
Add size to the variable.
After loop set label’s text to variable’s value.

Thanks for the help but is due to because i divide in loop, i think this is because it doesn’t show appropriate results

vknow360 · August 8, 2020, 11:48am

No.Since YouTube’s ASD is at last index, loop will run setting cache folder size and stop at YouTube’s cache folder size.

Yash_Agarwal_376 · August 8, 2020, 11:54am

but i didn’t change my variable to local variable , i’m just remove divide block from loop and boom it’s worked sucessfully.
And i want to say thanks to you for making this beautifull extension , am going to make a cleaner app .

Sorry I did not see your previous post carefully.

Welcome

A suggestion: you could add a new block get filename from file path

Sonam_Gupta · August 20, 2020, 5:19pm

But there’s a component is in builder already

Copying a file from the assets to the ASD does not work in AI2.
TaifunFile ext. works: App Inventor Extensions: File | Pura Vida Apps

vknow360 · August 22, 2020, 11:32am

In companion or apk?

bodymindpower · August 22, 2020, 12:52pm

Neither of them works.
