My app can´t read files from portable sd card

Hello.

I´m making an mp3 player app but my app can`t read files from sd card.

I´ve tried this:

(the list view selection says audio.mp3)
and this:
Captura de pantalla 2021-07-24 a la(s) 17.14.38

but still i cant play the audio, it says Error 701

returns a list, your blocks for this will not work, use a select item from list block with it.

Try your path without the file://

Is this what you´re talking about?

I´m pretty sure that I´m wrong so, can you send a snip of the blocks?

That doesn't look too bad... probably it is the 2nd item from the list?
What about using Do it to debug yourself?

I pressed the Do it option and it did the exact same thing.
The differnce was that I wasn´t pressing my phone`s screen.

Try the this on your device (it may take a few seconds for the files to be listed, depending on the number of MP3 files on the (removable) SD card):

Blocks

See here (→ point 4):

Here it is:

As I've shown, try: jion
file://

It did play the audio!!!

But when its inside folders it cannot.

I think its because it´s a different path...

TTG_Studioz · July 25, 2021, 5:40pm

also, do you think that this is the best way to identify if its an audio from sdcard or not?

Because with this method I can play from sdcard and internal storage.

List uri contains /sdcard/audio.mp3

I'll answer this later, when I'm back at my PC.
Does my test APK work for you?

TTG_Studioz · July 25, 2021, 5:50pm

Yes it does, that´s why i´m confused that my app cant´t read files inside folders.

TTG_Studioz · August 2, 2021, 10:29pm

I updated my method and now I can play files inside folders from sd card or internal!!!!

So, if you want to try try this method
