Andtidwiki and dropbox not working on android 8.0

[LDL]

I recently upgraded to an android smartphone (samsung S9+) running android 8.0 and found that I can't open files in andtidwiki anymore. Previously with android 6 I was just storing my single html wikis in a folder in Dropbox and opening them on the phone with andtidwiki. All was working fine and I was able to save back any modification. Now the same workflow doesn't work anymore and the andtiwiki app crashes complaining about "File not found. Please check /filecache/...". I guess it's a problem related to the app being very old, the developer site is offline and the app seems to be abandoned... Any other one having the same issue?

Hi,

It may be a problem with Permissions. 

Go to Settings > Apps > Application List. Select andtidwiki. Then select Permissions. "Storage" must be enabled otherwise andtidwiki would be able to access files.

Personally, I have been using andtidwiki on Oreo more than a month without major issues only import and Export of tiddlers do not work.

Wil.

Hi LDL,

Just to confirm your findings:

* With Android 6 I can load/edit/save a file from Dropbox
* With Android 8 I get the 'File not found ...' error.

Permissions for storage are enabled (by default), so that cannot be the problem.

As such AndTidWiki works: When I transfer a TW2 or TW5 file from my Linux PC to the internal storage of the phone (/storage/emulated/0/andtidwiki), it will be displayed when I open AndTidWiki and I can edit and save it.

Sorry, I have no solution for the combination Dropbox an AndTidWiki. May be others have ideas.

Cheers,

Ton

Hi Wil, thanks for the suggestions. I checked the permissions and they were already enabled. 

Ton, thank you for confirming the problem; manually moving the wiki file to the andtidwiki folder on local storage works also for me and could be a partial solution.

All the best.
