dynamically create a folder in kivy and python on androind

[manohisoa guy aimar]

I'm sorry because I ask questions all the time

 I have solved the last liver problem.

Now I have a question, is it possible to create a folder dynamically in the storage of my android with my App? In kivymd and python3.

Because I have already tried but on the computer, it works very well but on my android, the application does not even launch

Here is my test:


def rep(self):
        dos=os.getenv('/') if platform == 'android' else os.path.expanduser("~")
        dos1=dos+"/WanOffice"
        try:
             os.makedirs(dos1)
        except OSError:
            if not os.path.isdir(dos1):
                Raise

If anyone has an idea, I thank them already

to get your test working replace the `os.getenv('/')` expression with "." (a string with a single dot character which refers to your (hidden) app installation folder).

Android is much more restrictive on user rights than your computer's OS (assuming linux). On Android your app has only full rights to create a folder within the app folder.

For to create a new folder in the public storage of your android phone (in the memory or on the sdcard) you need to request special permissions (for more info search for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and requestPermissions).

Here is a runable example of lots of ways to access the 3 folders you can reliably access on Android

There are two different types of permissions (Manifest and App), the need for them varies depending on Android version and directory. Safest just to always include them.
