[sword-devel] Where does Bishop store SWORD files on Android?

[Tobias Klein]

Thanks Troy!


I see this working with Bishop on my phone (Android 8.1.0). There Bishop 
reads from and writes to /sdcard/sword.

However, it is not working on my Tablet (Android 10). I do have SWORD 
directories there with this structure:
/sdcard/sword
/sdcard/sword/installMgr
/sdcard/sword/mods.d
/sdcard/sword/modules

When starting Bishop on the Tablet it asks for permissions and after 
confirmation it does not show any existing modules based on the structure 
above.

Best regards,
Tobias
