Hello all!
Is there another way to transfer files from the phone memory to an external memory card (ie. Sdcard)? This example unfortunately only works on the same storage media.
Regards.

B4X:
#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4A Example
    #VersionCode: 1
    #VersionName:
    'SupportedOrientations possible values: unspecified, landscape or portrait.
    #SupportedOrientations: unspecified
    #CanInstallToExternalStorage: False
#End Region

#Region  Activity Attributes
    #FullScreen: False
    #IncludeTitle: True
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    Dim fileName As String = "Untitled.txt"
    If FileMove(File.DirRootExternal & "/Download", fileName, "/storage/extSdCard/Download", fileName) Then Msgbox(fileName,"OK") Else Msgbox(fileName,"ERROR!")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub


Sub FileMove(SourceFolder As String, SourceFile As String, TargetFolder As String, TargetFile As String) As Boolean
   Dim source, target As JavaObject
   source.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.File", Array(SourceFolder, SourceFile))
   target.InitializeNewInstance("java.io.File", Array(TargetFolder, TargetFile))
   Return source.RunMethod("renameTo", Array(target))
End Sub
