Exporting/Downloading Files on Android #337

Open Splarkszter opened 6 months ago

Splarkszter commented 6 months ago

Hello. I tried to figure out how to export/download files to the main storage system but i can't seem to figure out how to do it.

There is no button like in the desktop version to browse the emulator file-system to download the file.

It would be much appreciated to have a way to do it. Thank you :)

Indeed, currently there's no way except by transferring the flash image to a desktop system. It might be possible to implement file transfer in the other direction, by sending files from the calculator.

Implementing a full file tree view like the desktop version on mobile is not easy to do with QML and also really suitable for mobile platforms.

Ok... Is there any cheap&easy way to do it? Like mounting the emulated filesystem to the phone storage? No UI would be needed from the APP side.

I don't understand how it works but Termux and RetroArch do something like that (show their internal file-system to the user trough the native "files" APP).

No, there's no easy way to do it currently.
