Android Question Ensure DirDefaultExternal Exists

[Dane du Plooy]

What is the best way to ensure that DirDefaultExternal exists? I am using KeyValueStore, however it crashes on Initialize if DirDefaultExternal (or specifically it's parent directory) has not yet been created.

You should never use File.DirDefaultExternal.
See runtime permissions tutorial.

Why do you need to save the store in the secondary storage? Why not use File.DirInternal?

No idea :-D. New to B4A and working from sample code / rushing - changed to DirInternal / RunTimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal .

Thanks!
