Help Needed - How do I use the NEW ANDROID DIALOG object to get a Directory?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • I've tried numerous times to get the Directory without a File Name from the New Android Dialog, with no success.
    Is there an easy way to do this?

    As Far as getting the File Directory and File Name using a custom button " SELECT ". No issues! ( On file Picker with Id "1" and Button " SELECT " / Set alterable String to FILEPICKEDNAME$"newandroiddialogobject")
    However, I see no Option to Get The Directory only.

    The current workaround I am using is EDITBOX Object and the NEW ANDROID DIALOG Object.
    Basically, you use the NEW ANDROID DIALOG Object to find a Temporary Blank File you place in the Directory you want.
    This returns the Directory and Blank Text file Location.
    Then you click the edit box to delete the File Name and click Enter.
    This changes the Directory with the File Object.

    Any help would be great. Thank you!

  • Another Issue I have found is Saving to the SD Card.
    I have found the Exact Path by using the NEW ANDROID DIALOG OBJECT, but the FILE OBJECT will not Create a Directory using said Path.
    I have all Permissions Granted so far.
    I am also trying various other methods, so this may not be an issue for long.
    I.E. Using a Screenshot to create a folder / Using Listobject to Create a Folder, etc...

    Can you share a small MFA for me to check

    you know that you can't use external directory anymore and only scoped so not sure how is this implemented at your side

    I no longer do what Google wants anymore. I have grown tired of constantly changing apps to Google's Liking!
    I will be removing VBE From Google Play on the 1st of September.

    Currently I have about 3K users that direct download. So, I have Reverted back to External Storage via Android Object so users of Samsung Verizon Devices can actually see the files they create with our apps via the Default File Explorer.
    I have noticed though that depending on the year of the Device and which Version of Google's Android they have. This is still an issue as the latest Android Blocks External Storage. Which I may just have a jump link in app for those users.
    So far, trying to recover the Directory name with the New Android Dialog Object has been unsuccessful, as everything I have found in the object is File focused and not directory focused.
    I can create a Small .MFA if needed as this current project is in a Full Size app that is Paid.

    Let me know if the Small .MFA is needed or if the New Android Dialog Object does not support and report Directory Names.
    Thanks Fernando for your help!
