So what is your question now?
Btw, there is an extension to get the MANAGE_EXTERNL_STORAGE permission (so no need to de/recomplie APK and customize the Manifest.
My questions are :
Anyway I need to customize manifest in order to change other parameters.
Do you tried APK and verified copy files to internal storage anywhere ?
thank you
Copied from ASD on the removable SDcard to what?
The removable SDcard is read-only since API 19 (Android 4.4 / KitKat)
copy files from ASD on removable Sd-card to internal storage
Issue is I can't read file from ASD on removable Sd-card ( /storage/4694-4D13/android/data/appfolder/.. and subfolders)
Ok, as I've shown, this should be possible.
Post the relevant blocks.
As I've also shown, you must use a full path.
I cannot check it on Android 11+, because I do not have such advices with a removable SDcard. But I'm pretty sure that it works, if you try to read / copy a file from the app's own ASD.
I need to see the full path here:
But the part of the path is NOT the ASD.
It should look like this:
...Android\data\appinventor.ai_bodymindpower.BluetoothClient_AI2test\files
Please, take a look at the previous screenshots
I used full path, but It is too long to show it on a single screenshoot..............
I think there could be a misunderstanding.
When I wrote "how can I read files (copy from) from ASD on removable SD card ?"
I referred whatever ASD, not ASD of the AI2 app.
In this case ASD folder name is "it.mydev.atrparkcontrol"
See my answer in post #6:
And you have also no access at all to other ASDs, regardless of MANAGE_EXT...
... but you can access them with special file manager apps like "Total Commander" for example.
And again, the ASD in the (1) external storage & (2) external removable SDcard is:
(1) /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<packageName>/files/
(2) /storage/9C33-6BBD/Android/data/<packageName>/files/
This ASD is only accessable for the app itself.
That's why it's called "App-Specific Directory".
So, "no access" means no read and write permissions........
I hoped there were possibility to almost have read access on all ASDs through AI2.
Thanks for your support.
The MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission grants the following:
• Read and write access to all files within shared storage.
Note: The /sdcard/Android/media directory is part of shared storage.
• Access to the contents of the MediaStore.Files table.
• Access to the root directory of both the USB on-the-go (OTG) drive and the SD card.
• Write access to all internal storage directories, except for /Android/data/, /sdcard/Android, and most subdirectories of /sdcard/Android. This write access includes direct file path access.
Apps that are granted this permission still cannot access the app-specific directories that belong to other apps because these directories appear as subdirectories of Android/data/ on a storage volume.
