Android Question text file back to ide/debugger

[clydebamford]

While I'm debugging I need to get a text file back to my windows machine to examine, is there a simple way to do this other than saving the file and then sharing the file outside of the app?

You can use this (I use it a lot in several apps to exchange data/files): https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-network-asyncstreams-b4xserializator.72149/

You can drop the serialisator and just use the communication. Then you need to convert everything to & from bytes (which is easy when you know how). Advantage ist, that you don't need to write a file and then transmit it. Just send the data.

PS: The debugger is very good and I never needed an extra file to check.

Thanks ill ckeck it out. i m using a txt file to load a set of data, then the app checks it and modifies it a little, I then want to use the modified file next time I run, sometimes on different machines. I have been logging the individual lines then copying them and pasting into a new txt file, works but clumsy...

If you are using B4A-Bridge then you can access File.DirRootExternal with Tools - B4A-Bridge - File Explorer.
