Cheers! Erel ! I will use this capability from ActivityViewController for saving my files to a shared path/folder to permit 3rd party apps to access, Is my assumption correct? Upvote 0

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 17, 2024 #4 AVC is useful if the 3rd party app is registered to handle the file type. Another option is to make the app files accessible with the Files app: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...les-accessible-with-files-app.133476/#content Upvote 0

I am already using the latter option. My goal is dual purpose, one is to access files from a shared folder to read/write and that resultant file is then accessibly by other apps. I am guessing the avc is geared towards association to launch an app that can manage such registered extensions, which is not my desire. So therefore I am already using the correct method (the latter one you mentioned?) Upvote 0
