<p>Hi Troy,</p>
<p>I can certainly consider /sdcard/Documents as a new base also for
Ezra (haven't tried it yet).</p>
<p>I just did a quick search and I didn't find any official Android
documentation on that particular filesystem path. Is there
something you can point me to?</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Tobias<br>

<p>Thanks Michael, yes, I also feel we need to not swim against
the Google flow. The problem is that the Google flow seems to
turn at each new release of Android. Be assured, my goal is to
find a common means for us to share a single install of SWORD
modules and to do it the way Google wants and for as many
versions of Android as practical.</p>
<p>Tobias,</p>
<p>I've had no trouble writing to /sdcard/... from our C++ code,
as long as I don't write to the root of /sdcard/. My change
from /sdcard/sword to /sdcard/Documents/sword/ works fine on
Android 11.</p>
<p>Can you give /sdcard/Documents/sword/ a try? You can grab my
exact C++ code from the cordova plugin if you have trouble.</p>

<p>Dear Troy,</p>
<p>We should certainly align on the directories and keep it
simple.</p>
<p>However, starting from Android 11 Google makes it really hard
for us due to the "Scoped Storage" concept, see <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage</a></p>
<p>I couldn't figure out a way to write to /sdcard any more in
my C++ context on Android 11.</p>
<p>As a consequence at the moment I am not using /sdcard from
Android 11 anymore, but only the private app folder.</p>
<p>For Android < 11 I am using <b>/sdcard/sword</b>, but for
Android >= 11 I have completely disabled this including the
permissions request for <span style="color: rgb(55, 71, 79);
font-family: "Roboto Mono", monospace; font-size:
14.4px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal;
font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 500; letter-spacing:

text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2;

text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style:

!important; float: none;">WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.<br>
</span></p>
<p>I wonder whether there is still any way to still use
/sdcard/* in Android >= 11 in the C++ context ... I haven't
found a solution yet and it seems rather complicated.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
Tobias<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear all,
I've been updating Bishop to work on newer versions of Android and have
found that we are running into problems trying to create the
"Nonstandard top-level folder" 'sword' at the root of the common storage
folder.
Tobias, I know a while back you mentioned that you had to update Ezra
for Android recently, but it has been a long while since we talked about
it and I'd like to know if you've had any updated thoughts on what
you're doing there.
Any other mobile Android devs have any thoughts.
For now, I have updated our cordova plugin (and thus Bishop) to check
and if possible use paths in this preferred order:
"/sdcard/Documents/sword"
"/sdcard/sword"
((android.app.Application)
app).getApplicationContext().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
And we are augmenting modules from AndBible:
"/sdcard/Android/data/net.bible.android.activity/files"
... but I'd prefer not to do this any longer, once we all agree and
implement storing files in a common location.
Any thoughts?
Troy
