Try in Android 13 and see if you are able to get access to complete /Android/data folder at once.

Interesting, did you check it with the APK on Android 11+?
I checked it on Android 13 and there was no way to access it (via an app/ext).

hello Shreyaa,

I use android 8.1 here and I can create the Comb folder in /Android/data… I just can’t save a file there

#409

Shreyaa,

Where did you publish this extension ??

Is this extension your own ?? is this free??

#410

I have not publish it and someone was sponsoring me for this extension and late on he disappeared.

So right now i don’t know what to do !! It took me days to achieve this and also Direct compile apk from builder doesn’t work. The apk Dex file is need to be modified then only it works. It sounds strange like we need to decompile the apk for file extension but in deep yes!.
I was making an automatic program to modify the apk.

I haven’t published any extensions from long time.

This doesn’t work on Android 11+.
So we’re curious to see what @Shreyaa might present to us.

if you are looking for an extension, in this case the FileTools extension, then what about doing a search in the community or in the extensions directory? App Inventor Extensions | Pura Vida Apps

#418

I am trying to use this extension to create a file manager of my own.

image of my code
image of my code3264×1294 413 KB

This is just the base of code, to go through my directories and browse all files and folders.

The thing is that this doesn’t show me the directory of any file. It only shows the directory of folders.
Meaning there are no .png, .jpg, .pdf, .txt, only folder. Whenever I use the filter option in the .FIlesList function nothing happens. If i set withFolders = False then it returns an empty list.

How do i fix this and see files?

#419

You don’t seem to be aware of changes made by Google in Android 11.

Also see:

#420

Would it be possible for the application to read files from MicroSD with ListFileAsync?

If so, how would you do this?

#421

Yes
Just use the correct path to the directory
You can get a list of available storage directories using method AvailableStorageDirectories
