I took a whack at creating a File Explorer app to see all my TinyDB NameSpaces, using only AI2 native components.
I tried exploring the available File Scopes but could not find the place where the TinyDB NameSpaces lived.
There is a suspicious silence when I try to list directories for
(Prior work needed a shell command: Existing namespace - #10 by ABG)
Here's the current state of my file explorer:
ASD_explorer.aia (5.3 KB)
Any ideas?
Going back to the shell command, I get this on Android 9, I imagine that on Android > 9 it will not be so easy to explore the files.
Everything in MIT Companion.
borrar_tinydb.aia (17.2 KB)
When ListDirectory.Private (/storage/emulated/0/AppInventor/data) I get a series of files, I don't know if they are files from previous versions of MIT Companion that remain in that directory.
There is a cache in
/data/user/0/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/cache
another
file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/cache
TinyDB in
/data/user/0/edu.mit.appinventor.aicompanion3/shared_prefs/TinyDB1.xml
It's good to know what's out there, but I am shooting for an extension-free solution, so I can post to the Gallery and hope for eventual cross-platform compatibility.
I haven't used the MakeFullPath block yet.
It might be the missing piece for me.
These directories are created at runtime if needed (at least with Companion).
Try this one:
ASD_explorer2.aia (15.6 KB)
Possibly the only workable method is to make a list of namespaces as they are created?
