Hi,


I need to show binary data (doc,pdf,jpg,png..) , so i use File plugin to save as file and the using FileViewerPlugin to open the saved file.

I using the new File plugin ver.4.0.1  (2 Sep ), installed the apk in my phone (android) it's not save the file in the mobile storge .

i think the problem with permission - but it's not ask me for access permission .

my question is why it's not ask for access permission to storage ?

and why the WriteFile.Success return true ?

Thanks

Hello @Amin Medlij 

Are you getting any output in Uri ?

because it is the local URI that helps you to retrieve the file after saving

Hey Amin, can you provide more details on on your setup?

- MABS Version
- Android Operating System version with which you tested
- A screenshot of how you were calling the File Plugin's client action(sI?

Thanks WriteFile.Uri fixed the problem.


The WriteFile.Uri returned the file path and opened it using FileViewerPlugin.

I expected it to ask for permission, I tested on two phones and it worked fine.

There was no permission issue, as i thought...
