Sorry, it is my mistake.
A well known copy-paste issue.

I have built an extension and tried to download a file to the ASD (app-specific dir). This works fine on devices with API < 29.
But on devices with API > 28 I get this error:

grafik
I get the same error with the full path.

Here is my code:

Java

@SimpleFunction(description = "Downloads APK to AppSpecificDir (ASD): /storage/emulated/0/Android/data//files/. Note: No WRITE permission required.")
public void DownloadApkToASD(String url,String fileName){

	String name = fileName;
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(Uri.parse(url));
request.setMimeType(URLConnection.getFileNameMap().getContentTypeFor(url));
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
	
	int version_api = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
	if (version_api > 28){
	request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS,name); //downloads to /storage/emulated/0/Download, not to the ASD (as it should)
	}
	else {
	request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(context.getExternalFilesDir(null).toString().replace("/storage/emulated/0",""), name);  // doesn't work for API > 28	
	}

DownloadManager dm = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
dm.enqueue(request);

}

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
I compiled it with the old Extension Template (without AndroidX):
import android.support.v4.content.FileProvider;

pavi2410 · September 15, 2020, 4:24pm

Can you please verify that API levels you have mentioned are correct? Because I am confused.

Anke · September 15, 2020, 5:28pm

Sorry, but I don't understand.
I only used this in my code:

if (version_api > 28) {
...

Is something wrong with it?

request.setDestinationInExternalPublicDir(context.getExternalFilesDir(null).toString().replace("/storage/emulated/0",""), name);

works fine for devices with Android 9 and below (API < 29), but NOT on Android 10 and above (API > 28).

6 posts were split to a new topic: Problems building extension from appinventor-sources

Salman_Dev · July 15, 2021, 8:23pm

today i tried to build aix with extension-template and
when i run ant extensions the result is BUILD SUCCESSFUL but when i try to run
ant extensions -Dproguard=1 it show me the BUILD FAILED result.

how do i solve this problem?

ewpatton · July 15, 2021, 8:34pm

I'm going to need more information about how it failed. Do you have a stack trace or other error message?

Salman_Dev · July 15, 2021, 8:39pm

No, or maybe i dont understand

vknow360 · July 16, 2021, 12:40am

Probably it needs some changes:

Salman_Dev · July 16, 2021, 5:54am

@vknow360, @ewpatton

And i want to ask i am using git, and when i want to build aix in extension-template i left click in extension-template folder and build using gitbash (I build my aix outside the src folder).

Salman@DESKTOP-BK3S90V MINGW64 ~/extension-template (master)

is what i did right?

And if I want to upgrade my extension-template with the latest one
do I just need to run upgrade-appinventor.sh?

Salman_Dev · July 16, 2021, 6:25am

@ewpatton I see there seems to be a problem in the extension template because I have tried to build my aix many times with the command ant extensions -Dproguard=1 but the result is still BUILD FAILED

This is the source code I'm trying to build :
SalmanTest.txt (1.7 KB)

And this is the build log result :

$ ant extensions -Dproguard=1

Try cherry-picking this commit onto your repo:

Salman_Dev · July 16, 2021, 4:36pm

@ewpatton proguard worked after I added this line :
<exclude name="*/apksigner.jar"/>

below this line :
<exclude name="*/dx.jar"/>

Looks like you have to update your extension-template with that line

btw, why after I build aix with command ant ant extensions -Dproguard=1 it gives me 2 file,
and after i delete those two files and try to build with command ant extensions it gives me 1 aix.
and you see there is a file with the extension .map
is that not a problem?

ewpatton · July 16, 2021, 5:56pm

The .map file is the mapping that proguard produces to map the obfuscated names back to their original names. If you don't include the -Dproguard=1, proguard won't be invoked so no mapping file will be produced. Both builds will yield the .aix file.

Salman_Dev · July 16, 2021, 6:16pm

so is tht normal?

ewpatton · July 16, 2021, 7:39pm

Yes, that's expected. You mainly need the .map file for interpreting stack traces from the app since otherwise they're unintelligible. For the most part you can probably ignore the map file. If you plan to release the extension to others, you may want to keep each one around (you'll have to save each .map file per build) so that you can respond to issues that come up in the obfuscated code.

This sounds like a potential connection between your machine using HTTP and GitHub. You could try cloning over SSH instead.
