Android Question Device Encrypted SD Cards

Try to read from the app folder as returned by this code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/how-to-ext-sd-card-write-on-android-4-4.42177/#post-255351

Hi Erel.

All of our apps do use the app Folder for specific data storage without issue, Device encrypted or unencrypted.

All of the patients Journal files are SQLCipher Databases.

Unfortunately that's not an option for the library files, we supply devices to health authorities for reminiscence therapy of people with dementia, we have a huge library over 25GB of images, Video Clips, Old Time Radio Shows, Relaxation Music and old Video clips, Exercise Videos, this content is shared content for a number of themed applications written in B4A not just one app.

Streaming is not allowed as the devices are not allowed on the network...

Our suppliers of the media are a little concerned that this content must be placed on removable SD Cards that cannot be encrypted (the internal SD card has to be used for patients Journal files and personal images etc, not that the devices have enough internal capacity for the library anyhow)

We cannot encrypt the files individually as this slows the process down to a point that it causes frustration and anxiety in the patients.

I was hoping the Device's SD Card Encryption method was similar in nature to windows inbuilt file encryption.

Without encryption it all works fine on all our Android 4.2 to 5.0 Currently we have to cover the SD Card slot with security 'void if removed' tape...

SD Card Encryption is quite a useless Android feature really...

Thanks anyhow...
