Android Question Share KVS .dat file between 3 android apps

[Setlodi]

Hi, there

I hope you experts can help me.

I have 3 apps: Main app, Second app, Third app. Main app has a form which users fill in and the data is stored in the form.dat file using KVS. Now I want Second app and Third app to have access to form.dat and access the info using KVS. I have copied the file form.dat to the shared folder:

shared = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")
File.Copy(File.DirInternal, "form.dat", shared, "form.dat")

Do I need to use FileProvider here?

Now I have no idea how to initialize the file form.dat which is saved in a shared folder.

KVS.Initialize("What do I put here???", "form.dat")

What path must I put in order to access form.dat in the shared folder?
Also do I need permissions to access the file from other apps?

Do I need to specify the path here?

KVS.Get("Name"))

Thanks in advance

Two apps cannot share files.

The various options to access external files are described here: SaveAs - Let the user select a target folder + list of other related methods
