We are trying to write to external sd card , prog. ver 3.82
Tablet Samsung SM1211 (Samsung Galaxy Tab3)

File.DirRootExternal returns /storage/emulated/0/
File.DirDefaultExternal returns /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/[app name]/files

In both cases it's physically a folder in the tablet and not on the sd card.

Do we have to enable sonthing to write to sd card?

thanks in advance

Ok .

Added to the manifest:

AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE)
AddPermission(android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)

Added:

Sub GetContext As JavaObject
Return GetBA.GetField("context")
End Sub

Sub GetBA As JavaObject
Dim jo As JavaObject
Dim cls As String = Me
cls = cls.SubString("class ".Length)
jo.InitializeStatic(cls)
Return jo.GetFieldJO("processBA")
End Sub

and

Dim paths() As Object = GetContext.RunMethod("getExternalFilesDirs", Array(Null))
For Each p As Object In paths
Log(p)
Next

Like the post said the first path=File.DirDefaultExternal , which does not help because it's not pointing to the sdcard

The second path looked promising = /storage/extSdCard/Android/data/[app name]/files, tried to create a folder there and it worked

Thanks for the help
