How to request and grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

I want to thank you for SAF suggestion and of course for vknow360; you can see my blocks, well for my usage SAF worked "..rather.." smootly, under both ai and apk.

...unclear to me why in document creation, to set the parent document uri, I had to make two calls with the same only uri param to get what seems the parent of the directory (and not the document) in which the file is created.. without vknow360 example I would never guessed..

Hello,

I'm trying to replicate the blocks for MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, but I can't find Allfilepermission1.sdkversion.
What is the type of Allfilepermission? media...?
I only have '...'.scope.
I made the change (I think) in Designer.
How to find it?
Thanks

Did you drag the extension into your app in the designer?
If so, go to the blocks and you will find it.

I'm looking at the .aia and I'm just trying to get the extension.
Is it the .aix file?

Edit : ok, I find it ! Thanks

Can you confirm that with this extension, the file cannot be modified (I can read it)?
Thanks

What about trying? But yes, you can write to / read from every file in all locations (of the external storage).

I'm still trying to change a file in /Download.
But I'm also looking at how to download it from the application, it will be easier

After that copy / move the file to /Download.

Dear Anke,
i've been stuck trying to make my app work on the new device, and gut stuck in the permission issue for a looong time,
you made me happy today!
Thank you

In the pic of the blocks for manage external storage you have an item
set ActivityStart1 Action

What type of block is ActivityStarter

There seems to be another bug with the File component. Therfore my test APK from the first post, does no longer work on Android 13+ since the nb193 update (targetSdkVersion = 33).

So I rebuilt it with my MFile extension:

it works with me . can i get the project .aia file to just edit it to my application ???

Hi Anke, I'm using attached blocks on android 11 to get /Documents list, but no output on android 13, error 908 permission denied, what have I to do ?
