Hello guys,
I'm developing a mobile app using Outsystems ODC and I'm facing an issue that I need your support with
I'm working on a feature that allows downloading a file after exporting it to Excel from an entity. I'm using the following plugins: save file in File plugin (as shown in the image below) and following the instructions.
However, when I tested on an Android device (Android 14), no errors occurred, but when I went into the device's storage, I couldn't find the downloaded file. I think there are two possible scenarios:
- Function not working
- The downloaded file has been saved in the application's sandbox where it cannot be accessed conventionally. However, the path I set is /storage/emulated/0/Documents/.
Could you please help me solve this problem? I've tried a few different ideas on the forge, but none of them worked. I also checked out some other posts like:
https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/72434/does-anyone-have-a-step-by-step-to-download-file-via-mobile-app/ but it didn't work. It seems it's out of date
Thanks
I've tried to make this work in O11 for our POC app. I ended up with no solution. I was told it would be fixed in ODC. Havn't tried it yet, but if the behaviour is still the same, the file is downloaded in the sandbox of the application. Therefore it is not convienient to use and it's a big dealbreaker for us to develop our company app in Outsystems.
I hope a solution will be present in the new Mobile UI.
