dir internal can only be used by your app. You dont see the folder on your pc when connected.
Use File.DirRootExternal instead

i used File.DirRootExternal and it returns (/storage/emulated/0) in b4a
and i could not find that in my device

actually how access file in my device in direct path without using the (File) object in b4a
something like (file://data/data/dbase.db)
in the attached image shows my SD paths and device storage paths.

n the attached image shows my SD paths and device storage paths.

The device default (left side) you can not access with your app.
DirInternal points to device (left side) \data\data\your app packagename\files

You should save the files on fileDirRootExternal (right side on your screenshot). Her your app has acces to (if you have set the correct permission)

 

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

but the fileDirRootExternal returns in b4a the path( /storage/emulated/0) and that path doesn't exist in the right side screenshoot as you see.

File.DirRootExternal returns the correct path to the secondary storage. It is possible that it looks different than the path that you see in this explorer app but it is correct.

FIle.DirInternal cannot be accessed by other applications.

 

[Hamied Abou Hulaikah]

but Mr Erel , i need to access my database by application and physically ,i saw that in many application
is that possible in b4a?

 

[Erel]

Yes it is possible. Save the database in File.DirRootExternal. All apps can access those files.
