Connect your device to the computer via USB and you will be able to see it.

So it works with this permission, which is of course a bug with your Samsung device. The ASD no longer requires storage permissions since API 19 (Android 4.4 / KitKat).

[Ondrej_Ruz]

I don't understand it... Where is the mistake...

[Anke]

@Ondrej_Ruz

Where is the mistake

Which mistake? As I said...

@Anke

[Ondrej_Ruz]

From your computer it should look like this:

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

Your answer to my question is still missing

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.
