Question about Taifun File extension

pavi2410 · March 14, 2021, 6:42am

The assets are stored just like App Inventor now, except that “AppInventor” in the path has been replaced by “Kodular” in order to prevent conflicts with the MIT App Inventor companion.

Edit:
Every occurrences of “Makeroid” has now been replaced with “Kodular”

@Boban @bodymindpower @Taifun Could you please test the asset path behaviour with the beta server? I need to ensure that changes made for Android 11 requirement don’t break the functionality.

@pavi2410 please first describe, what exactly has been changed and for which Android versions
@bodymindpower it seems to be, you are testing with a device older than Android 10? it might be easier to understand your test results if you could add, whether the result of a test was as expected or not…

Android 11:

pavi2410 · April 10, 2021, 1:54pm

To be precise:

First of all, Makeroid has been dropped in favour of Kodular name, except the package name.
As part of the changes to fulfill the Android 10/11 File restrictions, from Android 11 onwards, assets are saved to app’s private storage in the companion mode, i.e, /Android/data/io.makeroid.companion/files/assets/ as found out by @bodymindpower
For devices below Android 11, it resides under /Kodular/assets/ directory.

Thank you very much for your help and support, @bodymindpower !

Is there an asset named abc.txt already there?

pavi2410 · April 11, 2021, 11:08am

@bodymindpower I have fixed the bug with Exists block failing to check asset files. I will push it to the beta server soon.

bodymindpower · April 11, 2021, 12:32pm

Let me know when it’s done. I will then test it …

pavi2410 · April 13, 2021, 4:57pm

Beta server has been updated along with the companion app on the Play Store.

Sorry, I didn’t get it.

bodymindpower · April 14, 2021, 5:12am

Android < 10: /Kodular/assets/abc.txt
Android ≥ 10: /Android/data/io.makeroid.companion/files/assets/abc.txt

Absolute paths:
/storage/emulated/0/Kodular/assets/<fileName>
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/io.makeroid.companion/files/assets/<fileName>

Taifun · April 14, 2021, 10:46pm

are you trying to say, the correct result should be true?
you are testing om the beta server and this does not work correctly on Android 9 but correctly on other Android versions?
unfortunantely I do not have beta server access, @pavi2410 can you please add me to the beta tester group?

It means that once again we shall have to adjust our methods of getting absolute paths.
