[sword-devel] Shared folder for Android modules (Bishop, Andbible, Ezra)

[contact at tklein.info]

Hi Cyrille,

I understand where you're coming from with this request.
However, using sdcard storage on Android became very difficult (specifically when wanting to write on it) some time after Android 10.
From Android 10, Google has introduced the "scoped storage" model, see https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage
I have not (yet) figured out how to successfully configure this (using C/C++ / native code) to be properly accessible in the context of my Cordova Android app (without requesting the "super user" All Files Access permission ... which we are anyway discouraged to use, see https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/manage-all-files#all-files-access-google-play

After trying unsuccessfully for a while (without that special permission mentioned above) I have given up on it ...

Best regards,
Tobias

Dear Tobias, Troy, and Tuomas,
I’d like to take the opportunity of Ezra Bible’s release to revisit the idea of having a shared folder (Sword?) for modules on Android; this would make using the various apps much easier. I don’t have the expertise to help or fully grasp the technical challenges involved, but it would be great not to have to store the same modules three times.
