Can someone tell me why the TextEditor example from Erel doesn't seem to work on Android 7 or earlier? (I'm using GenyMotion emulators at the moment, will also try soon with an old tablet I can dust off.)
When I run the app and try to open a file, I get this log output:
Works fine on Android 8+.
Background:
My app has a function to import CSV files, and it's misbehaving on older Android devices (7.0 and earlier). So I looked for a more modern way of dealing with files (because of all the permission restrictions of more recent Android releases).
I tried the TextEditor example linked above (compiled using B4A 13.00), and found that while it worked fine on Android 8+, it failed on older Android releases. I need something that works on Android 5+.
The only change I made in the TextEditor code was updating the target SDK to 34 to get rid of the warning.
If someone can point me to file-loading code that works on all Android releases back to 5.0, that would be great. Thanks!
