This used to be so easy ...
I have an app where I occasionally copy files from a NAS to a folder on an SD card. The following code used to work:
Once this tmp file had been validated, I renamed it.
With targetSdkVersion="27" and Android v 7.0 this no longer works, and worse - it actually crashes the app, with the following error log (even though External File Permissions have been granted):
Am I missing something?

at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1386)I can use one of the directories listed by the RP.GetAllSafeDirsExternal("") method but I don't want to do this if I can avoid it - many GB of external data get wiped out if I have to uninstall the app and reinstall it.
I have played with the https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/90238 class that Erel created, and with it I can create a folder where I want it. The notes in the thread suggest that I should be able to copy a file to the folder, but I can't see how.Am I missing something?
