Android Question No access

Peekay · Jan 21, 2022

Why would I all of a sudden get:

B4A Version: 11.20
Parsing code. (0.09s)
Java Version: 8
Building folders structure. Error
Access to the path 'C:\OneDrive\My Apps\IBMSss 2021 PKO\Objects\b4xlibs\Files' is denied.

I have ownership and full access to all my files and folders on Windows 10.

Thanks

Others have had this problem with projects on 'cloud' drives. I don't recall seeing any solution found.
Move your project to a local drive and it will work.

Mike,

It is on my local drive, which is backed up on OneDrive. I have also moved it out to C:\ directly and I get the same error.
I am quite sure it is a Windows problem. No matter how I set the security setting, it keeps my account, users and everyone on Read&Execute.
It appeared suddenly, probably because of some backup program I installed, whose misguided coder thought it allowable to put his fingers into things he is not up to.

And Drive has full access to this path too as it is syncing.

Copy the folder out of a shared path. It will work. You should only store backups (zip) on Drive.

Just adding ... I have all my projects / files stored in a similar fashion , (albeit with Dropbox).
I have never had an issue , but more importantly , I Manually enable / disable syncing when Not using B4X.

I have stopped synching, uninstall OneDrive, moved the folder, changed security ... nothing works.

There is no file to look for in this folder. One tip on the internet says that it will give an error if you are searching for a folder and not a file.
How would I know which file it is searching for?

Can you confirm the build error is still identical, except it shows the new location (path) you have moved the project to?

Peekay · Jan 24, 2022

The error stays the same, but the path changes to the new path when I move the folder.

Try to create a new project, then move them into the project

Anything in your manifest referencing a wrong location?

Peekay · Jan 24, 2022

I do not see anything strange in my manifets file:

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.

Did you use copy instead of move?

Peekay · Jan 25, 2022

Thank you for everyone who tried to help. I appreciate.
Enrique solved the puzzle for me by just deleting the folder.
