Android Question Android 13 Save/Load Data

[Luis Felipe Andrade]

'Dir Internal:
Dim lReader As TextReader
TextReader1.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirInternal & "/bzmonitor" , "server.ini"))
Dim lLine As String
lLine = lReader.ReadLine
pidlocal=lLine
lReader.Close
'Result:java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user/0/com.bzmonitor/files/bzmonitor/server.ini: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

'Canno't create the path permission denied
'*****'
'Dir DEfault External:
Dim lReader As TextReader
TextReader1.Initialize(File.OpenInput(File.DirDefaultExternal & "/bzmonitor" , "server.ini"))
Dim lLine As String
lLine = lReader.ReadLine
pidlocal=lLine
lReader.Close
'Result: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.bzmonitor/files/bzmonitor/server.ini: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
'This Works allways great but not anymore in Android 13

Starting with Android 13 I Notice that file.DirInternal and File.DirDefaultExternal do not allow access anymore due to security access, then, where the app will save data? where to load app Images previusly saved? how to read app config text files information?


Please Help! thank you in advance!

DirInternal can be used but its a hidden directory. Use

xui.DefaultFolder
