Thanks.

You can later try to use it again. Note that there is no guarantee that it will work. It depends on the external app that actually manages the url. You don't have direct access to the file system. Another option is to use ExternalStorage. Once the user chose a folder, you can access it without asking for another approval (in most cases). Upvote 0

This class can also be used to access the secondary storage (File.DirRootExternal). This becomes relevant with newer versions of Android that restrict direct access. It has nothing to do with runtime... www.b4x.com Upvote 0
