Android Question WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

[imbault]

Hi,
I have perfectly understood that we should use RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal instead of DirDefaultExternal.

But I have many apps already on the store, that I maintain, so those apps use DirDefaultExternal, I believe so the necessary files are in this directory.

So my question is how to suddenly change in a release, DirDefaultExternal to RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal and find the files that are on DirDefaultExternal?

Thanks

You are lucky.
RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal("") = File.DirDefaultExternal

The only difference is the former doesn't require a permission.
