Hello, I have the following problem that I cannot find a solution.
I just want to select a file, read the content and get the data to process it, but the following code gives me an error when trying to read the file. This is my code:
B4X:
Dim cc As ContentChooser
cc.Initialize("cc")
cc.Show("*/*", "Seleccionar configuración")
Wait For CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
If Success Then
    Dim parser As CSVParser
    parser.Initialize
        
    Dim resolver As ContentResolver
    resolver.Initialize("")
    Dim u As Uri
    u.Parse(FileName)
    Dim rs As ResultSet = resolver.Query(u, Null, "", Null, "")
    If rs.NextRow Then
        Dim columns As B4XSet = B4XCollections.CreateSet
        For i = 0 To rs.ColumnCount - 1
            columns.Add(rs.GetColumnName(i))
        Next
    End If

    MsgboxAsync("Dir: " & Dir & CRLF & "Filename: " & FileName, "")
    
    'Only filename'
    FileName = rs.GetString("_display_name")
    rs.Close
        
    Dim filestr As String
    'vv ERROR vv'
    filestr = File.ReadString(Dir, FileName)
        
    Dim data As List = parser.Parse(filestr, "#" , False)
        
end if

Dir = "ContentDir"
Filename = "content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw%3A%2Fstorage%2Femulated%2F0%2FDownload%2Fconfig.con"
Filename after filter = "config.con"

But in line File.readstring(Dir, Filename") I catch the next error:

B4X:

B4X:
Dim cc As ContentChooser
cc.Initialize("cc")
cc.Show("*/*", "Seleccionar configuración")
Wait For CC_Result (Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
If Success Then
 Dim s As String = File.ReadString(Dir, FileName)


End If

Better to wrap File.ReadString with Try / Catch as the user might choose a non-text file.

Thank you very much for your prompt response, I really appreciate the help and time you dedicate to this community.

I always use try-catch to handle errors, but the code in the post is a simplification.

Your code is the first option I test with error. But the error seems to be from the emulator that I am using (LDPlayer), now it works correctly in a real terminal. Thanks for your help.
