Can't access files on system #65

Closed Ranger-NF closed 5 months ago

Ranger-NF commented 6 months ago

Issues:

Can't add images to logs (Tried camera and uploading - Camera takes photo but doesn't add the image to it)
Can't change where the files are stored (It gives me the dialog box but fails to apply the changes)

Device info: Android 8

App Version: 1.7.0 (Downloaded using droid-ify)

@Ranger-NF Did the app prompt for file/storage permissions and was the permission granted?

Also what are your image/log folders (the folder paths are listed on the settings page)

Ranger-NF commented 6 months ago

@Demizo I have double checked the permission. It has been granted

Log folder stays the same even when I set the folder. Here are the screenshots:

Before:
After (see how image folder gets changed):

@Ranger-NF I ran the app in an android 8 emulator and ran into similar issues. I can use the app normally and add photos if the image and log paths are defaulted to the app's internal folders. However, like you I can not change the log or image folders to anything meaningful. This is do to a lack of read/write permissions on android 8. The storage permissions I am requesting aren't enough for old android versions. I am exploring how to best add these permissions without effecting later android versions.

@Demizo Ok, I have installed V1.7.1 unfortunately the issue is not completely fixed. I can change the path to all directories except Documents and its sub-directories.

ie, When I try to change the path to /0/Documents or /0/Documents/Diary/, the app behaves as mentioned in my earlier comment (path doesn't change for log folder and it changes to / for images)

Its not a big issue for me rn. I'm okay with creating a new folder in /0/ (It seems to work). I will update if there are any other such weird bugs

@Ranger-NF I will double check if this is true of the documents folder, but I know some directories are protected on android from apps just reading/writing to them without a specific api. Additionally flutter has some limitations when it comes to platform specific apis like android. I may need to implement the file access logic in native android code at some point. I should also have an error message when a folder can't be accessed to make the behavior less confusing.

@Ranger-NF Let me know if the move to SAF in the latest update fixes this!

Ranger-NF commented 5 months ago

@Demizo It seems to have been fixed on the new version. Good job mate!
