use of sd card #97

Closed gilcot closed 5 years ago

gilcot commented 5 years ago

Diary 1.49 ; Android 5.0

I've switch the default location to my a directory of my SD card (that makes some sync ops easier for me) But I haven't been asked to grant write permission to the app (that works that way with other apps as Google change access rules after Android 4.4) Entries in that new location can be read, but no new entry can be created (hopefully the app doesn't crash, it just fail with a balloon message about access denied)

Regards.

As I said here https://github.com/billthefarmer/diary/issues/95#issuecomment-503059339, android only supports using an SD card for sharing or transferring files, unless you make it part of the storage. Some devices seem to allow apps to write to an SD card, but the emulators don't. Therefore, if it works, you are lucky, if it doesn't then it's not supported anyway.
