This is how iam saving the csv file .. I take manual input to give the file a specific name using notifier block and then I have called the response.

Thank you for your help @Taifun

You have tried with a built App (APK)?

..and you have read this important Topic by Anke?

Some basics on Android storage system

From an Android point of view there are an → Internal Storage and an → External Storage . 1. Internal Storage The Internal Storage can only be accessed with a rooted device. 1.1 The app package is saved in /data/data/<packageName>/ In order to be able to debug your app, AI2 saves the assets for → Companion on devices with Android ≥ 10 (API ≥ 29): /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/files/assets/ Android < 10 : /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit…

The correct directory name would be /Download

[mohammed_salman]

Yes I have installed and tested the apk. It does save the file in my Downloads.

[mohammed_salman]

Yes .. my mistake. but if there is no such folder then it will create a folder by that name.
Thank you

Probably only for Androd 10 and below

Yes, Exactly. but if I mention “/download/name.csv” then it will work on most of the versions right ?

You would normally need to ask permission to Write:

For Androud <= 10 yes, but you have to ask for permission as @ChrisWard has shown
For Android > 10 it will not work, only if you use /Download and then without asking for permission there

I have done it in this way. Is that fine ? It’s working as far as I have tested in multiple phones

[mohammed_salman]

I have granted the permission in a different I hope that’s fine. I have already uploaded the block. Correct me if iam wrong.

Listing them one-after-another will fill the screen with approval notifiers - not really User Friendly. Better to present the next notifier after the previous one has been answered. For example (not specific to any particular project, this is simply to show how to display the notifiers one-at-a-time):

Got it … I will follow that. Thank you everyone for all your help. It was really helpful.
I wanted to know one last silly thing . as iam thinking to publish it and when the user downloads it and installs it can I give them the basic tutorial of my app like what does different buttons and text box do in the app so that it will be easy for them to use. Is it possible?

Thank you

[Taifun]

@mohammed_salman

basic tutorial of my app

Try a spotlight extension
You can find them here App Inventor Extensions | Pura Vida Apps

[mohammed_salman]

I got it and I have tested it aswell . I have put the spotlight block under screen1 initialise block because of which it shows up every time I open the app but I wanted it to show only when the user install the app and open it for the first time. Is there anyway ?

You could do a search and you would find How to get components to show only when App is opened for the first time?

[mohammed_salman]

Yes. I did it and I got it. Iam just done with that thing
Thank you
