Android Question failure to open text file

[Roberto P.]

Hello to all
someone can figure out where the problem is the failure to create and open a text file?

I attach the project.

thank you

and open a text file?

What exactly you want to archieve?
To open (and read) a file by your app you don´t need a Intent. Just open and read it.

You are trying to open an intent to EDIT the file. But there is no app registered to be the EDITor for .txt files.

Hi Manfred
I want to create a text file and open the default editor to write the user. I have two registered applications that open the text file. Or I expect Android-face view the applications that open the file.

Thank you

Change this:

Dim aPath As String = File.DirInternal

to this:

Dim aPath As String = File.DirRootExternal

or this:

Dim aPath As String = File.DirDefaulttExternal

I think files in internal can only be opened by their application, but you are trying to open it with an external program.

I have already tried
File.DirRootExternal but it does not work

 

[Mahares]

I ran your program and used rootexternal and defaultexternal and was able to open it with Notepad and quickoffice installed on the device.

 

[Roberto P.]

the same program?!
I have tried with two tablets with the same error !?

 

[Mahares]

The same program you posted except that I added this:
Log(File.ReadString(aPath, sFile))
just to see that the file was saved to either rootext. or defaultext.

I thank you, but I have the same error ...
I do not understand!!!
