I don't know if I am replying correctly.
After so many years on this forum, I feel that it is part of the learning, doing experiments and check every aspects.
We can't expect every member who shared their posts give you answers you want straight away.
As the learner, I don't think we can just take things from the surface without taking some effort in understanding the examples.
Most of the time, I don't have the answer on my hand. I read and try. Not one post but all related posts. Search and search. Failed, read the tutorial again. Test the examples again and again.
The answer does not appear just like that. But what people see is just a simple post. Just a few lines.
Thinking, oh, that's easy.
This guy must already knew the answer.
In reality, it's not.
So, why not take a bit of a minute, study the examples?
If you have doubt, ask. Put a relevant title.
Honestly, I found very very less people ask me. I don't think I always make things clear enough every time that no question is needed.
Maybe I am scary to people or they always scare to ask.
On B4A, it's actually simple.
For me, I always check the the manifest for every project in case I miss something.
For the SaveAs example, there is no magic in manifest. I just removed unrelevant parts to make my example only serve what it is intended to do. I think it should also work if keeping the manifest as it is in the original tutorial.
The prerequisite is, one should have already checked the SaveAs tutorial.
Lastly, I think the mistakes some members have are assuming that this forum is a platform they paid for support. They thought members who helped get paid. They thought they can take things for granted. Other members must be kind to give me as much for free because they have too much time and I can just take everything I want. I don't bother to know how this forum works. The community owe me. Don't ask me to mark your solution. I will mark my post as answer. I see a lot of these members. Please, I urge anyone don't be one.
