Unfortunately, I'm not an expert user, so I have some difficulties to understand all the applications that you extension could have.
So please, a question for you:
I'm trying to write a camera app, using the ProCam64 extension. Currently, my app can save a picture into the folder /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/MyFolder (so we are into the internal storage). But I can't read the same picture and load it as preview, maybe due to permissions (the app could read picture if it is stored into the ASD).
I read above that your getASD extension could store any kind of files in internal storage. So, could your extension help me in some way? If yes, how should I use it?
I just tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Because I have also the Camera permission to request, I tried to write a "do" cycle, but by requesting the first permission in the Screen.Initialize event, and the other ones in the Screen.PermissionGranted event.
If Camera permission is requested in the Screen.Initialize, the app request also the second permission (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), and it freezes when I allow it.
If READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is requested in the Screen.Initialize, the app starts but without asking for any permission. It seems like if READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is not allowed and so the Start.PermissionGranted event is not called. Obviously the issue of load the picture is not solved.
However, maybe I will open a new topic, I think we are off topic here, isn't so?
Many thanks for you effort Anke. But also this one is not working.
The first time I open the app, it asks for Camera permission. The second time, for the storage permission. Then, when I take a picture, it doesn't save it.
I checked several times the blocks, but I was too focused on the blocks to be equal to your suggestion, not on the strings, and I didn't noticed that mistake. Sorry Anke, I really apologize for this.
However, now the app saves the pictures, but the issue about the permissions is unchanged. As you suggested, is there some tools for debugging?
Do files uploaded in the Media panel in AI (example below) go to the ASD? If so, should I be able to access them through the ASD Path? For example, if I wanted the path to the model.json file uploaded in Media, would it be /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<app_package>/files/model.json?
(I'm asking this because as of now I cant access them through this path, Java fires a java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException exception).
No, only with Companion. With the compiled app (APK, AAB) files in the assets are in the internal storage. File in the ASD are in the external stoarge.
Everytime I try to import this extension, I get an error saying the DatePicker control can't be found and builds fail. If I remove the extension, the app works. Weird.
I AM using the date picker in my app.
