How to Share MP3 From my Playstore App

bodymindpower · June 29, 2019, 5:55pm

try this:

sharing component needs full path:
file:///mnt/sdcard/Makeroid/assets/sound1.mp3 (Companion)
file:///android/asset/sound1.mp3 (APK)

Taifun’s Tools extension: App Inventor Extensions: Tools | Pura Vida Apps

thanks how do i discover the path of where the sounds of the app downloade on playstore are?

bodymindpower · June 29, 2019, 6:18pm

the sounds are in the assets file:///android/asset/
see above, I’ve adapted. Where the user shares the sound file is irrelevant.

download aia share_mp3.aia (56.4 KB)
build APK and try …

For testing with Companion:

What I know of you cannot share files located in assets

Only your app has access to this path file:///android_asset/

Ok thanks Boban, try this share_mp3.aia (87.6 KB) or this share_mp3.apk (4.2 MB)

Its happening in other apps that used to Work too, I searched he community and didn’t repeated any asset name , tested all mp3 filed and they are playing

There are several things that can cause this error

bild

How big is your aia
Try clearing your web cache
Sometimes when extension is not uninstalled correctly
Improper files in assets or structure

The first question is, if my APK (share_mp3.aia) will be built / compiled and does my APK work?
I thinks so, so it’s up to your aia (aia too big or too many files in the assets).

Btw, I chose an app-specific directory because it does not require READ / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions.

icaroemanuelpl · July 2, 2019, 2:21am

i have 2 pages with 70 sounds in total, i was able to download the apk but now im reciving that error , aia is 4,74mb, i have no extensions, cant download the apk in any deviceteste.aia (4.7 MB)

Remove package name and try again

I have made some adjustments for you in the designer on Screen1 (verticalScrollArr) and in the blocks:

teste2.aia (4.8 MB)

As I said this app does not need READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions. So build the APK (teste2.apk), open it and deny permission and see that it works anyway. But the Sharing component enforces these permissions (see here: ExoPlayer source only from assets or URI). So if you do not want these permissions to be requested you have to remove them from the Manifest before building the APK.
