Zeev Goldstein Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 2, 2021 #1 hi, until sdk 28 i could ask permission to access external memory and once got it i could read / write to external memory now with sdk 29/30 i can't get the permission - the app crashes is there a new way to do so or i'm (as usuall) am making something wrong ? the code did not change - it was working perfectly on 28 thanks

Erel, did read the link you sent me. got more confused and did not see answer to my question i also think it is not really relevant (sorry...) as google demands any new app or update to be of sdk 29 or 30 as i said - on 28 all worked perfectly. so if i go back to 28 - and want to update the app i will get problems from google so i must obey their ruls i need to access external memory to retrieve some data and then i changed the app to store it in internal memory but i need this access to get the stored data how do i get it ? thanks Upvote 0

Erel, sorry for being a pest... i'm not trying to use these permissions or commands i am trying to get permission For Each permission As String In Array(rp.PERMISSION_READ_PHONE_STATE, rp.PERMISSION_READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, rp.PERMISSION_CAMERA) if i omit the external memory read permission - it works when i use it the app crashes what i need is this SaveDir = File.DirDefaultExternal and then to read some data stored there and move it to internal and no more external on 28 all fine 29 or 30 - crash what can i do to overcome this hurdle ? thanks again (and i'm not trying to test your patience ) Upvote 0
