Fix the /sdcard/

[Delve Delos Santos Jr]

Latest version (2022) of DroidScript is very disappointing when using File System.

Before, /sdcard/ is converted to /storage/emulated/0 (external storage),

but today, /sdcard/ is converted to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<package>/files (android data).

Created files and folder is being deleted whenever the application is uninstalled.

Even DroidScript projects are being deleted whenever I uninstall them.

Please fix the /sdcard/.

The folder DroidScript in my external storage is now useless since there is a new path.

HI,

Android 10+ brought in Scoped Storage (with the stated aim of cleaning up all an apps files if it is uninstalled)

which restricts the folders apps can read from/write to.

DS then puts your apps/projects in Internal>Android>data>com.smartphoneremote.androidscript>files>DroidScript.
I've found a few paths work consistently (different Android versions, running under DS and as a built/installed APK.AAB)

app.GetPrivateFolder("name")+"/folder/file.extension" // user can't see files

app.GetSpecialFolder("type")+"/folder/file.extension" // user can see file in folder under Internal
type should be "DCIM" or "Pictures" for images, "Movies" for video, "Music" for sound, "Downloads" for other 

Regards, ah

in version 2.68  "app.GetSpecialFolder" not working. app.ReadFile from this folder get error and app.WriteFile to this folder write 'I dont know where' 

app.WriteFile( "/storage/emulated/0/Documents/books.txt","sometext")   detto nothing. I am Premium.

Can you help?

.

Thanks

HI,

If you're writing text I'd try something like

fn = app.GetSpecialFolder("downloads")+"/books.txt"

app.WriteFile(fn,"Lord of the Rings")

the file should be in internal > download

With scoped storage you may need to use CheckPermission/GetPermission

Theres an example called SAF
