Share cannot find specified mp3 in device

[steviia]

hi, i'm trying to share a sound file with the push of a button. but these error messages always come. as apk and compain. it should be due to the android version. have 8.0, 10.0 and 11.0

You cannot share a file from the assets (via the Sharing component) with the compilied App (APK).
You have to copy it first e.g. to the ASD (App-Specific Direktory) and share it from there.

Note: Your path to the assets does only work with Companion and only on devices with Android < 10.

Ok, du bist offenbar kompletter Anfänger mit AI2. Dann wird es anstrengend. Du solltest erstmal einige Grundlagen kennen. Das Fragezeichen wird erzeugt, wenn man das Gerät mit Companion verbindet und einen rechte Maustaste-Klick auf diesem Block ausführt:

To shorten it.
Here is the easiest way:

• zip all sound files: soundFiles.zip
• upload this zip file to assets (media).

The rest is done through the following blocks.

• copy the zip file from the assets to the ASD
• unzip the zip file into the ASD folder: /.../soundFiles/

This works with all Android versions (Companion & APK).
