Android Question Transfer Donwloaded files

[Carlos Botafogo]

Hello:

I am lookin for an answer for a very simple job:
I want to open and read attached files I've got from E_Mail and WhatsApp. What is the most prctical way yo do that ?
I am trying with the code bellow, but without good results.

Dim argh As String
    argh = File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "Download")
    Log(argh)
    For Each FileName As String In File.ListFiles(argh)
        Log(FileName)
        ListView1.AddTextItem(FileName,50)
    Next

Thanx a lot.

Every piece of this short code is wrong.

You should never see File.DirRootExternal in your code.
You should never see ListView in your code.

You cannot read files of other apps. You can make your app a "share target". This is demonstrated here: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-save-and-load-external-files.132731/#content
