Problem with Anke's "Install apk from ASD extension"

Zol · October 21, 2020, 1:59pm

Hi!
I want to use @Anke 's Install APK extension.
She wrote DeepHost's download extension is not require permission to download specific directory so i use that.

I tried with original download path -android download directory-. Checking the download path showed that correctly.
Gave error:
Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/content/FileProvider
I thouth its ok, because Install APK extension need the appspecific directory. I modified as in Anke's example. As the picture shows.
It gave the same error.
Checking the download path indeed created some specific path, but weirdly the file was ..../small.mp4.
What am i missing?

I found out there is a newer version of extension.
Why do there have to be so many libnk for one extension? Grrr.
Never mind. I will chek it in few minutes.

@Anke has used a support lib class which has been deprecated now so she (me too for PkgUtils extension) should use AndroidX lib.

P.S. Sounds good that she has already done it.

Zol · October 21, 2020, 2:27pm

Its not because of that.The update was because of The newer version is few monts old too.
I tried and didnt help, but it has a download method, i try it with that, but if you are right about the lib then it wont work either. Few minutes to try.

Anke · October 21, 2020, 2:29pm

The extension is currently only intended for Kodular because, as @vknow360 said, the support lib is still used. See also here:

Oh.
Well then, i have to look for an other solution.
Thank you for your answer.

Maybe this can help:

        jsResult.cancel();

        jsResult = null;

    }else if (jsPromptResult != null){

        jsPromptResult.cancel();

        jsPromptResult = null;

    }else if(mFilePathCallback != null){

        mFilePathCallback.onReceiveValue(null);

        mFilePathCallback = null;

    }

}

public void Download(String url,String mimeType,String contentDisposition,String fileName,String downloadDir){

    if (!hasWriteAccess){

        new Handler().post(new Runnable() {

            @Override

            public void run() {

                form.askPermission("android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",

                        new PermissionResultHandler() {

                            @Override

                            public void HandlePermissionResponse(String permission, boolean granted) {

                                hasWriteAccess = granted;

                            }

But has this anything to do with this error?

vknow360 · October 21, 2020, 2:41pm

Yes.
There is a lot of difference between these two lines:

request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(context,dir,name);

and

request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(dir, name);

The first one saves files in ASD while other saves file in external storage.
I got the solution from the SO link shared by you.

Anke · October 21, 2020, 2:42pm

@vknow360 Thank's, I'll check that later ...

Zol · October 21, 2020, 3:44pm

Looks like the same problem with Deep_Host's extension. It has an Open_Direct_file block that gives the same error.

Zol · October 22, 2020, 3:43pm

For now, i solved the install problem with calling chrome and download with that and install after download, but waiting for some working extension. So far neither is working. I even tried KIO4_istall too.

Zol · October 22, 2020, 3:56pm

By the way, if someone knows what preferences in activitystarter and permissions i have to set to be able to install from the app, that is also acceptable i think.

Taifun · October 22, 2020, 4:20pm

did you already try the install extension by @Juan_Antonio?

the activity starter solution, which was discussed here https://puravidaapps.com/install.php unfortunately does not work anymore for newer Android versions...

Even if it works, it work from SDcard, that not have avery device. I need one that work from internal drive. From internal(default download dir)it gives the same error.

Taifun · October 22, 2020, 4:50pm

the extension from @Juan_Antonio should work from the internal (emulated) sdcard... as you said, it would not make much sense to offer an exension, which works only for external (removable) sdcards...

Zol · October 22, 2020, 4:52pm

Ok. So, how can i create an emulated SDcard?

Zol · October 22, 2020, 5:00pm

I think i got it. I give it a try.

Zol · October 22, 2020, 5:21pm

No succes. Even i do it something wrong or it doesnt work on Internal.
By the way, it is an Android 9 device.

Taifun · October 22, 2020, 6:03pm

unfortunately without seeing your relevant blocks and without knowing what you are doing exactly nobody will be able to help...
