Android Question file dialog not working in release mode

[catyinwong]

I have the following code which works well in debug mode, but it cannot show/search any file in release mode. anyone knows how to fix it?

<code>
Dim fd as filedialog
fd.filepath = "storage/emulated/0/documents/"
fd.filefilter = ".xls"

dim sf as object = fd.showasync("choose a file","confirm","","cancel",null,false)

</code>

Use code tags when posting code.

Make sure to use Runtimepermissions and request permission for the path used.

 

[catyinwong]

how to check permission for a specific path?

 

[DonManfred]

Search for Runtimepermissions

 

[catyinwong]

Search for Runtimepermissions

actually I did. but I can't find the answer.

And rp makes more questions because the checkandrequest function does not "request" so it is no help to me

Many mistakes here. Take 20 minutes and watch the video tutorial about runtime permissions. It will save you a lot of time.

1. Click on List Permissions (in the logs tab). You will see that no permission is marked as dangerous permission.
2. Remove this:

AddManifestText(<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="18" />
)

3. Add this:

AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

4. Remove Activity_PermissionResult and learn how to use Wait For.
