Get AppDataLocation on Android device

CharlieG

Hello,

In the documentation, QStandardPaths.AppDataLocation should return for Android device : "<APPROOT>/files", "<USER>/<APPNAME>/files".

So in my case, with this code :

StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DataLocation[1])
StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DataLocation[0])

I would like to have :

file:///Android/data/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files
file:///data/user/0/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files

Unfortunatly, I can't get "<APPROOT>/files" (file:///Android/data/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files). I only get "<USER>/<APPNAME>/files".

My problem is that I don't find "data/user/0/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files" in my device... so I can't check if my app use the right files (Docs, example, ...).

Do you know how do to have the good path ?

Thank you in advance.

Charlie

To access "data/user/0/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files" in a file explorer on Android, you need a rooted device and root explorer. That is because APPROOT is intended to be a "sandbox" for the app - only the application has access there.

Hi,

I don't want access "data/user/0/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files", but I want access "/Android/data/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files".

With C++, this is possible with :

QString dataLocation = standardPath->standardLocations(QStandardPaths::DataLocation)[1];

But I can't do it with QML, because

StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DataLocation[1])
StandardPaths.writableLocation(StandardPaths.DataLocation[0])

only return "data/user/0/net.jiyuusoft.myApp/files".

Have you an idea ?

Hm, I see. I don't have an idea apart from recommending you to use C++ code in this case :-)
