Companion and APK: How to access files on Android

[Anke]

I want to understand where AI2 stores the files added to Media and if it changes using Companion or apk, if Screen1.DefaultfileScope changes or not its behaviour and if the version o Android matters.

Some basics on Android storage system

From an Android point of view there are an → Internal Storage and an → External Storage . 1. Internal Storage The Internal Storage can only be accessed with a rooted device. 1.1 The app package is saved in /data/data/<packageName>/ In order to be able to debug your app, AI2 saves the assets for → Companion on devices with Android ≥ 10 (API ≥ 29): /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/files/assets/ Android < 10 : /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit…

Where can I find a guide to this general problem?

Seems that the problem is related more to non media files, images, sounds and video do not give me problems, the problem arised with text, zip and database (sqlite) files.
