How do you write to Internal Storage?

[renato]

How Can I make it working?

[TIMAI2]

Not like that!

Where do you want to save your file? ASD? Shared Storage?

[renato]

The path shown on error is not sufficient?

[TIMAI2]

There is no such path....can you answer my question ?

[renato]

I would like to answer but I don't know the answer. In general I would like to save a file in some path (not Download nor Documents to avoid deletion by the user). Any suggenstion?

Save it the PrivateDir (internal storage), which is only accessible via a rooted device.

[renato]

With the following path i can save a file, but I dont know if is a correct procedure:

/Android/data/appinventor.ai_renato_bolognesi.ReadWriteFile/files/file:storage/emulated/0/data/user/vari.txt

[renato]

When I try to read the same file with the same path it says: could not be fount.
Can you explain pleas?

/Android/data/appinventor.ai_renato_bolognesi.ReadWriteFile/files/file:storage/emulated/0/data/user/vari.txt

Your path does not really make sense, see the part in bold

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

The Path used is:
/Android/data/appinventor.ai_renato_bolognesi.ReadWriteFile/files/file:storage/emulated/0/data/user/vari.txt

The file vari.txt is written at that location

But when I try to read it gives error: could not be found

How to access non-media & media files on Android 11+

Access to non-media files on Android 11+ On Android 11+, non-media files (like txt, pdf, csv, ...) can be accessed if and only if the text files are in the → ASD or in the → Private dir (i.e. were saved there), or the text files are in one of the Shared folders /Documents or /Download and these files were created by the app itself, or SAF is used, or MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE* permission is requested and granted. *` This is not really an option, because an app that requests this permission…

and then specify your question and your goal.

[renato]

I need to create a file that contains useful information at the beginning of the app. I don't want to put them in Downloads or Documents because I also clear the folders sometime. It must be in a protected file. As I was saying, I managed to save the file in the Android folders etc.. but then I can't read them again. At this point I'm trying to use the GetASD extension you proposed.

The Path used is:
/Android/data/appinventor.ai_renato_bolognesi.ReadWriteFile/files/file:storage/emulated/0/data/user/vari.txt

as already said earlier, this path does not make sense...
to store a file in ASD just use file scope app together with only the filename
however that file will be gone after deleting the app

So was so easy? I did not know was possible to write in ASD in this way. So I will use this solution. TY

Saving in ASD is easy, but the saved file can be deleted
