I am updating an app to Android 11 and have raised the targetSdkVersion="28".
My app compiles and runs but I now need to deal with requesting access to File.DirRootExternal so the App can access the secondary storage.
I have used rp.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal but that returns a path to DefaultExternal not DirRootExternal.
I have read and viewed the video for RuntimePermission CheckAndRequest and get an error when I add it to my App.
I used the following code for testing:
If I place this code in Activity_Create I get an error that my B4XViews button is not initialized when I attempt to set the button text later in the App.
If I place the code in Activity_Resume I do not get the error and the app compiles and runs.
I need to get permission to access DirRootExternal before Activity_Resume since the App reads and writes data to the External storage when the app starts. I currently have the code to read and write the data to External storage in the Starter Service but I need to check and get permission before that. I can move the code back to the Activity_Create but I get the error if I put the CheckAndRequest in Activity_Create.
The App runs fine except I don't know where to place the CheckAndRequest so I can get the permissions before I read and write to the DirRootExternal location without getting the error.
