[DISCONTINUED] Extension to download a file to ASD (app-specific directory) without WRITE permission

[Anke]

@11191

doesn't work... Android 4.0

Strange! This directory (ASD) should be created automatically by AI2.

My app only creates this folder:

Please check if the ASD exists!

[11191]

More than strange I have surprised, but the full path exist in ASD!

But, anyway, after I have started an app again, it shows the same runtime error. Have no any idea...
In my app I'm using the extension "FileTools" by vknow360 - it doesn't show such error..

Ok, of course we can try to get to the bottom of the problem. But does it really make sense to do this for Android < 4.1 devices that almost nobody uses anymore? I do not think so!

Most builders (Kodular, Niotron, ...) use minSdkVersion = 19 or 21 (Android 4.4 or 5), except AI2 (API 7, Android 2.1 - for whatever reason).

[11191]

I agree. It's very specific problem in my case. I'm making an app for old industrial machine, which works with Android 4.0. I'm not sure that new ones are working under this system. Besides, I have solved my issue with extension which mentioned above. Anyway, thank you, your extension is excellent, I'm using it in other projects.

Remove some (big) files from the assets and try again.

App size limit help

http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/ AIA size: 30 MB number of screens should be < 10 http://code.appinventor.mit.edu/ AIA size: 50 MB number of screens should be < 10 The APK size also depends on the files types (incompressible / compressible) in the assets. See also here:

How to download a file to subfolder in ASD

From my example blocks in the first post:

[Kevinkun]

When i try to download several files (one by one), sometime when all files download completed, DownloadProgress still be triggered.

In my case, some time it will show log "downloading 8 of 7..." @Anke

@Anke

Note: The DownloadProgress event doesn't seem to complete, but it does (it just doesn't show up in time). Therefore, you should also use the DownloadCompleted event so that 100% is displayed at the end.

See post #60.

if i close screen or app before download complete then download complete or not?

[Dragomir_Haralambiev]

I already have DownloadToASD version 2 installed.

I updated to version 4.

Saved Project.
After a few days I see that the version is 2 again.
I changed it again.

What causes this problem?

The assets are probably not updated correctly with Companion. The problem should not occur with the compiled app.

Delete the Companion directory on your test device manually or see here:

How to delete all files from assets with Companion

Here is an app that can be used to remove all files from assets with Companion - regardless of the Android version of the test device. This is sometimes necessary so that it still works (properly), for example after an extension update. deleteAssetsCompanion.aia (800.7 KB) Credit to Sunny - @vknow360 for his FileTools extension! [grafik] Android 9: [grafik] After that, disconnect Companion, reload the browser and reconnect to Companion...

[Dragomir_Haralambiev]

I have not test device.
I make APK file and make the tests.

If not upload DownloadToASD ver 4 when make APK I have follow error:

ERROR: appinventor/ai_goup2010/Analizer/Radionika.yail line 293: caught exception in inliner for # - java.lang.RuntimeException: no such class: de.bodymindpower.DownloadToASD.DownloadToASD
