Android Question Requesting dangerous write permission with TargetSDKVersion 29

[Scantech]

I believe Starter.rp.Check(Starter.rp.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) will not work with TargetSDKVersion 29 and android-29? I do not see the permission screen.

I included the legacy manifest as required.

There is a temporary workaround for API 29 on this page:

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion

There are several versioned components that affect the compilation process and the runtime behavior of our apps. The purpose of this tutorial is to explain the differences between them and help you choose which version to use. Each Android version is mapped to an api level. You can see this...

Starter.rp.CheckAndRequest(Starter.rp.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
    Wait For Activity_PermissionResult(perm As String,res As Boolean)
Log(test)

Just FYI. Log(test) will never run with targetsdkversion 29. I think we need to eliminate this dangerous permission. Any codes below it will never run.

i believe you missed one thing that you should also use sdk-29 for this purpose

EACCES (Permission denied) (Solved)

Hi All, I know this question has been asked many times and the answer is always this : Runtime permissions: https://www.b4x.com/search?query=Runtime+permissions . Well I have read through this several times and am more baffled than before. My Question: I have used the following code to copy...

I think i understand whats going on now. The SetApplicationAttribute(android:requestLegacyExternalStorage, true) will only work with the apps that accepted write permission in TargetSDKVersion 28 or lower.

If app is uninstalled and reinstalled with TargetSDKVersion 29, then the write permission won't work and File.DirRootExternal is useless.

That's not true. It works exactly as before. Tested with this code and a new package name:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    Dim rp As RuntimePermissions
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
    Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String, Result As Boolean)
    If Result Then
        File.WriteString(File.DirRootExternal, "1.txt", "ttt")
    End If
End Sub
