How can I use MFile extension to do the following things?
- Upload text file from any memory-area of the phone.
- Save that file in ASD so it can be read and manipulated (means adding, editing, splitting etc) according to the need.
- Can we do step 2 outside of ASD as well?
(Thankyou @Anke for suggesting me to discuss this new problem in a new post.)
Upload to read the text file. I am not able to do (read) it.
-- Only if I can read the file, I can do all other text-file manipulations.

How can I use SAF, can you explain with blocks?
how can I apply SAF to these blocks?
SAF means Storage Access Framework, am I right?
Can you share the documents that explain SAF? I shall learn few basics and ask doubts after that.
