Thank you for sharing this. This is an important feature.

Can the same function be achieved in B4i?

No. This is an Android specific feature.

I had a problem running this example on my phone:

When the program automatically opens the default folder, All selected files information are displayed correctly. But when I change the folder and select the file, the program flashes back,There is no prompt information available,Without any log information, either.I don't know where the problem is.

The best example / resource is this one: [B4X] TextEditor - Save and load external files

Thank you,Erel.
It works well in Release mode,but not normal in debug mode in my phone.The TextEditor example is also.
I don t know where the problem is,It always flash back in debug mode without any error message.
