All the time I have my mobile phone connected to the PC via USB

Then disconnect, connect again and post a screenshot like mine.

I copied the sqlite file from Documents/Zalohy to ASD. Unfortunately, there are 0 sentences in the ASD file... Where am I making a mistake?

You probably need to complete the giving permission process before trying to copy the file. Note that this appears to be a device issue (Samsung) for the requirement to manage all files permissions.

Go back up and look at Anke's example blocks for TestToASD.apk

Your answer to my question is still missing

SAF1 - copy db.sqlite to ASD

Are you planning to 1) publish your app in Google Play? Or 2) is it only for you without publishing? In case of 2) you could use Extension to add MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission into the manifest by BodyMindPower without need to use SAF Taifun

The app will not be in Google. It is only for my private use.

Then there is no need to use SAF
Get the manage external storage 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…

and use one of the file extensions, for example App Inventor Extensions: File | Pura Vida Apps to copy the file to ASD

As this permissioni is not declared in the Companion app you can't test this with Companion.

Hello.
Can anyone help?
I use the SAF extension.
Mobile: Android: 14

• In the /Documents/Zalohy/ folder there are several files, for example: dbKnihy2411060728.sqlite, dbKnihy2411051250.sqlite, dbKnihy2410171001.sqlite, etc.
• I want to select one of these files and copy it to ASD as dbKnihy.sqlite.
  Unfortunately, I can't copy the file...
  Where am I making a mistake?

No need to create a new topic for the same question, which you keep asking ...

We have provided all the answers to your question above:

Use SAF CopyDocumentToFile, or set MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

Make your life easier and don't use SAF as already mentioned from the beginning of this thread

This seems the most acceptable way for me... One more question: How do I achieve the renaming of the .sqlite file in ASD? What extension is best to use for this?

[TIMAI2]

Use the File component "Move" block to rename a file.

Thank you.

Hello.
I tried to add a block like this:

but I get an error:

I actually need to "create" the dbKnihy.sqlite from currentFilename in ASD.

Sorry, this was supposed to be a question for Taifun...

What is the purpose of the WebViewExtra extensiom and the Base64Convertor extension in this context?

@Ondrej_Ruz

I am trying to copy one .sqlite file to ASD from ../Documents/Backups folder.

You only have to ask for MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and then copy the file from Backup to ASD, that's all. I would use the file extension for this App Inventor Extensions: File | Pura Vida Apps

Please show all relevant blocks

Can you explain the purpose of the WebViewExtra extensiom and the Base64Convertor extension in this context?

Also where are you asking for MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission?

You can save a file directly to the ASD using webviewextra.

[Ondrej_Ruz]

Sorry... I completely messed up....

I created the app based on the post:

@TIMAI2

You can save a file directly to the ASD using webviewextra.

I just need to rename the file...
