a.graham, thanks a lot for that class.
about 8 years ago i wrote for my own personal use a file manager which was (still is) suitable exactly to my needs and madness.
it was (and still is) working without any problems or crashes everyday for 8 years on several devices.
now with android 14 and higher SDKs versions, i had to dive back into b4a and especially this app again....and it's NOT like riding bicycle.....
as expected, i've first found EREL tutorial of fileProvider and started implementing and made some progress (althought i hate the preseption behind it).
then i bumped into your post. a combination of just the right preseption, with a person that have the ability to carry it out.
so, i put aside the fileProvider and tried yours.
the good things are that installation on android 14 was smooth, permission granted, and all traditional files and folders actions work as before.
the problems are whenever the good and old code comes to indent.ACTION_VIEW/SEND etc. at those points it seems that there is no escape from the fileProvider monster.
Q : were you aware of that ? - or alternatively - can YOU make it work without fileProvider ?
Thanks a lot
