tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 11, 2016 #1 Hi everybody, I'm struggling with creating a directory on SD. Code: Dim lista As List=File.ListFiles("/storage/sdcard1") For Each e In lista Log(e) Next File.makedir("/storage/sdcard1/Android","") lista shows correctly the content of SD card on a Android 5. I try to create the structure: "Android/data/it.logicdata.cncfiler/files" but I didn't succede(no error, simply directory is not created) Also creating "Android" only obtains same results. On 4.2 is OK. Here is the relevant code for manifest Code: AddManifestText( <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> ) Does somebody knows why? Thank you! Mauro

tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 11, 2016 #3 I can get it also if it was not created? I have just tested that in case I create the "supposed allowed" folder every successive creation inside of it run fine. I have also created files for sql lite and a folder in it. Thank you...

tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 11, 2016 #5 Strange things happen here. The RuntimePermissions.GetAllSafeDirsExternal returns only one element(the SD emulated in internal memory) not the SD. Code: Dim aa As RuntimePermissions Dim paths() As String=aa.GetallSafeDirsExternal("") /storage/emulated/0 Dunno if the issue is in my LG X150, but using my app I'm not able to create the structure to write permanent data on SD Ciao Mauro Upvote 0

tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 12, 2016 #7 Yes, Erel seems to be my case. At least I have found this problem before release. The problem is: How can I create the structure Android/data/"app id". I'm not able to create also a single level of folders. I'm testing other ways... Thank you again! Mauro Upvote 0

tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 12, 2016 #8 Hi Erel, seems to be impossible to create (mkdir) the structure "/storage/sdcard1/Android/data/it.logicdata.cncfiler/files" after creation I'm able to create anything inside of it, both dirs and files. Definitly a bug or something that seems to be. I have tested QuickEdit which asks the permission to write to sd and then it can create a file on root. My app has full permissions for external storage. Upvote 0

tigrot Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 12, 2016 #12 Solved, or at least "almost" solved. I tell the user to create the folders in case I'm not able to do ! Dirty but effective! Upvote 0
