READ / WRITE External Storage Permission

[Kolitha_Dissanayake]

Dear all,
I have tried the sharing component for an project but got an error when I try to share, as
Error 908: The permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE has been denied

To get rid of this issue, I am trying to give the permission from the user at the app start with below blocks.
But I think it will be really disgusting for the user when he need to give permission every time he log in to the app.

So my question is, is there a permanent solution to avoid this permission issue?

I have searched the community too, but didn’t find a solution yet.
Thanks in advance.

Ya just use tiny db that when permission granted save it in tiny db…
So you don’t have to ask permission again & again.

You can also use the Is Permission Granted block in Package unities

Thanks Alap,
So will it work if the user close the application & log in later?

Thanks Watermelon,
Yeah I have tried that and found permission has not granted, then I tried with above blocks to give the permission manually.

Wait… You should use `if not Is permission granted(YOUR PERMISSION) then Ask For Permission

you may also read this, FYI asking multiple permission has been a problem.

How to grant multiple permissions at Screen.Initialize / Do NOT use "Package Utilities" (until fixed)

I found the solution / cause to (many) permission issues. It is caused by the Package Utilities component. Whenever this component is used, the screen must be reloaded to grant permission. And this is the case regardless of whether any method of this component is used or not. Therefore, I strongly recommend not using this component at all until this bug has been fixed. See this example regarding Challenge 46: This is now my solution (to grant 3 or more permission at Screen.Initialize): per…

If the user granted the permission it will not ask him again.

[Alapjeet (Alapjeet Singh)]

Yup it will work with that also.

Thank you watermelon

[Kolitha_Dissanayake]

Thank you, yes it seems it’s only one time asking for permission, even though I thought it will ask permission every time when someone log in

[Kolitha_Dissanayake]

wow, this is great. thank you

[Kolitha_Dissanayake]

Thank you Alapjeet

@Kolitha_Dissanayake

this is great.

So did you find your solution in the post?
Can u show your block that made it work?

[Kolitha_Dissanayake]

Hi Watermelon,
I have kept the blocks still as the previous one as it seems the permission should be given only once as said by Alapjeet

Note: WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is sufficient because it implicitly grants READ permission.

Qr : Read and Create Bar Code offline

It is always good idea that a component or extension automatically requests the required permissions. But if this is the case, the .PermissionGranted event is not triggered. To guarantee this (for whatever reason), you have to ask for this permission manually (expressly), in your case: android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. This is sufficient because it implicitly grants READ permission. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission [grafik] See also here:

Thank you Anke,
That explains what I couldn’t explain

I have learnt a lot from you. Always appreciating your kind intervention!!!
