Android Question [SOLVED] RuntimePermissions Programming Mistake

[mmieher]

Why is this a "programming mistake"? Big bold line squiggled.

Also not working, but that will be a New Thread!

Sub Process_Globals
      
    Private rp As RuntimePermissions
    'Private Shared As String
    Public PMCDirectory As String
  
' ...

Sub GetConfigFile() As ResumableSub
    Dim FirstConfig As Boolean
  
    Dim i As Int
  
    '    Permissions --------------------------------------------------------------------
    PMCDirectory = rp.GetAllSafeDirsExternal("")
  
    rp.CheckAndRequest(rp.PERMISSION_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
    Wait For Activity_PermissionResult (Permission As String,Result As Boolean)

Bold did not work. the PMCDirectory = rp.GetAllSafeDirsExternal("") statement is a "mistake". Object converted to String.

 

[Mahares]

PMCDirectory = rp.GetAllSafeDirsExternal("")

Should be:
PMCDirectory = rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("")

Public PMCDirectory As String

This should be an array.

Public PMCDirectory() As String
