I dont have any problem about accessing videos but what actually i want to avoid is to make my videos Visible to Gallery app of the device because they are content files of the app itself which are not supposed to play via gallery app when its wanted, that would be absurd. if i wanted my friend to watch those videos through gallery then i would NOT get myself into trouble with trying to build an app )
but as i remember in one of your posts ; internal storage is kinda restricted and requires root, i dont think my friend's phone is a rooted device and i would not request this either, so after i read your post about storage types, i never thought to put my videos to internal storage (i cant because my videos are larger than 5mb which is the limit of AI2 that lets me insert anything i want to internal storage through the apk)
So thats why i am still struggling even days after the design and the main blocks are placed; downloading my large videos to asd and call them via html but two problems;
--i cant download any webm video file fully, asd downloader doesnt finish the download, files are corrupted
-- i couldnt find a way to call a webm video via and html that i copied from assets to asd.
The videos saved in the ASD aren't displayed in the gallery. To do so, they must be moved to one of the Shared folders or downloaded there directly. This isn't a problem with my extension, of course.
Back to your screenshot. It shows a READ permission error, which may actually be incorrectly caused by the VideoPlayer component. As I said, I'll test this tomorrow and report back...
Well, why are you using the HasMargins property? Have you been confused with the Text property?
HasMargins
Specifies whether the label should have margins. This margin value is not well coordinated with the designer, where the margins are defined for the arrangement, not just for individual labels.
There several bugs with the VideoPlayer component. @ewpatton
As @sTan's screenshot from a Android 8.x devices has shown, the VideoPlayer requests incorrectly READ permission for the ASD. This bug is also present in Android 9 and 10.
If I download the video to one of the Shared folders (eg /Movies) and try to play it on Android 11+, I get the same wrong READ permission error.
If I do the last on an Android 14+ device I also get the same READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission error. This is of course a "double" bug, since it should at least be called READ_MEDIA_VIDEO then.
But you already did, since you addressed your problem in two topics with now almost 80 posts. It shouldn't be that difficult to solve your problem in a few minutes if we...
Know exactly what your goal is (i.e., video format, size/resolution, availability, zoom capability, size, etc.)
Can see all relevant blocks and, last but not least, the AIA. So post the AIA here (or send it to me via PM).
I am not sure why it's not working for you, but there is no issue with my extension. It works perfectly and video is also played on downloading it. Check below blocks and test aia. I did not tested with Video Player component. I prefer extension for more functionality and control.
No i didnt, they point on different things in 2 problems which had to combine at some point , thats “perspective”, not “duplicate”…why would i ask same question in two different topics? Why would i do that? I am not saving world, i.am not in a hurry, you read 80 posts but not carefully, there are two different problems that are related and at some point i had to mention other one and questions asked so i said taifun to look other topic that i already showed related blocks to not to duplicate. You blaming me on duplicating while i messaged to not to duplicate. Interesting.. i dont see any positive intentions on your attitude. Did you have a bad day? and you wouldnt say such a thing if you could understand my words in the post that i replied to Taifun, instead of counting my posts to throw me a number. Rudeness is not something i can tolerate..
So Good luck with it anke.
Someone delete this account because i aint comin back
The application I created worked fine with Android 11 and 12, but no longer works with Android 14 (not tested with 13): I get a black screen at startup.
The application initially uses the DownloadToASD1 extension and downloads a CSV file from the internet.
I tried updating the DownloadToASD1 extension (version 2022-08-09Z), but it didn't change anything.
I changed the extension to ASDDownloader (version 2025-01-24), same problem.
Here's the code:
Before this morning, there was still DownloadToASD, and it didn't work.
Now:
The image shows the entire code for screen 1.
The extensions include ASDDownloader only.
The app starts, but apparently the file has not been downloaded, or is not in the right place, because in the visit screen, I do not have the markers corresponding to the data of the .csv file supposed to be downloaded.
With the DownloadToASD extension, I didn't need to enter the full path.
Does the full path change from one smartphone to another?
If so, it will be complicated to install it on different smartphones.
Taifun.
