Android Question Date in memory

[ciginfo]

Hello,
When installing the app that I developed, the app places a date in memory (File.WriteList (File.DirInternal, FileSETTINGS, TheDate). This date stored in the device is erased if we uninstall the appli. I would like this recorded date to remain in memory if we uninstall the app. Is this possible?
Thank you

Hello,
if you store dhis datas not in the file.dirinternal, then they remain in the device after uninstall.

You might have a look at ExternalStorage.
Even, if you store files in the RuntimePermission.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal (SubFolder As String) folder, this one is deleted when you uninstall the program.

In which folder should it be placed so that it is not deleted?

The user can delete any folder on his device.

What I do when a user installs the application:
- Register the device ID (and user information) in the server database
- When the application is re-registered on the same device, I already have the relevant information

I have not yet really used ExternalStorage.
According to many answers from Erel, this will be the only solution in the future due to restrictions in Android.

Not really. ExternalStorage will not work for such use case.
