My test app is based on the code herehttps://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-whole-of-external-sd-card.89798/#post-568065

Everything works except that I couldn't get the picked folder name. For example, if I select "test/data", I need "test/data" value be returned. The pickedDir (see quoted code below) returns something quite different, similar to: TreeDocumentFile) androidx.documentfile.provider.TreeDocumentFile@1007385

Could someone give me a hint on how to picked folder name I'm looking for?



TIA

I'll use the following code
B4X:
File.Copy(SourceDir, filenName, pickedDir, fileName)
to copy a file to the pickedDir on SD card.

I wouldn't need to know the picked folder name if I modify the code In the above ion_Event()
as shown below
B4X:
Dim newFile As JavaObject = pickedDir.RunMethod("createFile", Array("text/plain", "My Novel"))
       Dim out As OutputStream = ctxt.RunMethodJO("getContentResolver", Null).RunMethod("openOutputStream", Array(newFile.RunMethod("getUri", Null)))
       Dim tw As TextWriter
       tw.Initialize(out)
       tw.Write("this is a test")
       tw.Close
from creating a new file to copying an existing one.

Could someone show me how, please?

TIA
