MFile - a modified version of Sunny's `EFile` extension - Shared folders - storage permissions - Android 11+

I created the file already using the second block 'Save File'. Yes, I created using companion, is it what ypu meant?

Can we automate this process using blocks? May be as below?

If you test with Companion first, simply place the corresponding block in the block area and execute it via Companion with "Do it". If you want to create the APK afterwards, you can disable this block or delete it again.

Hi, In this app, MFile is successfully creating a text file with a given text. But, after that I am not able to either update the file or delete the file using blocks.

Actually, I tried to overwrite with new text data as well instead of empty space, I tried to delete the text file by adding the corresponding block along with these blocks, but not working.

I tried all this using .apk and not companion.

You already received your answer here

1) Read .csv file from phone, 2) Seach for a keyword 'Apple4321' 3) If keyword found, then look for the nearest word if it is 'send' 4) If the word 'send' is found do some action like 'play music'

There you go I do not know how many times I already told you Which means, you have to use SAF or in case you do not plan to publish your app you can Taifun

According to my English knowledge, I understood that you are saying that it is not necessary to use SAF if I don't want to publish the app in playstore. Yes, this app will be used only in my phone and it will not be published. But, still I am facing this error. Most probably, I will solve it somehow. But, If you have any Idea, please guide me. Because, you told that it is not necessary to use SAF for my case.

So where exactly are you asking for manage all file access permission?

How to request and grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

In this guide I show you, how to request and grant → MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on devices with Android 11+. Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google. However, let’s assume the app is only intended for private use or for special users or for other app stores. This permission must be declared in the Manifest (since it is not declared the Companion app you can't test this with Companion): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> Here is a s…

If you try this with the same app, it shouldn't be a problem.

[S.V_Arul_Shiju]

I am confused actually. Out of confusion if I speak, I think, at beginning it worked, then when I added more blocks it didn't work. Then after adding blocks for permissions, it worked again.
