Copy file (from assets) to Shared folder on Android < 4.4

[Akos_Balogh]

It's the project,that you made for test earlier.There is also no file in download directory.

Does the file have to be saved in /Download? Wouldn't /Pictures be more suitable?

[Akos_Balogh]

In this program after it saves to download,it would copy to that folder,but Kio4 isn't working in android 4. But I guess file1 doesn't work too,because there is no file in downloads as well.

@Anke

because WRITE permission automatically grants READ permission (at least on Android < 11)

Correction:
This statement only applies since Android 4.4 (API 19, KitKat).

@Akos_Balogh

isn't working in android 4

So you have to request additional READ permission for Android 4.0.4.

Remove one of those slashes

Also I personally would use file scope Shared to copy something to shared storage

I don't, and this is one of the reasons:

Not one of standard directories

I now checked it also on one of my Android < 10 devices (Android 9) and the app crashes, if FileScope is set to Shared. This is another bug with the File component. So it must be set to Legacy (at least on devices with Android < 10). [grafik]

It is requested in the project.(Both read and write.) I also changed "//" to "/" but it still not putting the picture into download folder.

I made some adjustments (corrections). Try this one:
KIOTEST_2a.aia (76.8 KB)

Build the APK and check...

OMG,thank you,it finally works.
