Path for SD Card.

Mathan M

Hi All,

I am developing an app, which i have to access the .mmpk [map package file]. MMPK file will be copied in the SD card root.

Query 1:
What will be the path to set it in the QML Code?

Query 2:
If the .mmpk file is added in the /Resources [Resources/Resources.qrc/resources [where the AppIcon is present]], So the .mmpk will be bundles and go along with the .apk file.
Is it the right way? if it so, How to set the path?

Tried:

property real scaleFactor: System.displayScaleFactor
//Input Path
//property string strMmpkdataPath: System.userHomePath + "/ArcGIS/Runtime/Data/mmpk/" //System path

//property string strMmpkdataPath: ":/Resources/CARCommune.mmpk" //Mobile SD Card Path

//property string strMmpkdataPath: "../Resources/CARCommune.mmpk" //Mobile SD Card Path

property string strMmpkdataPath: "qrc:/Resources/CARCommune.mmpk" ////Mobile SD Card URL

//System.userHomePath = C:\Users\mmanohar

//OutPut Path
property string runtimePath: System.userHomeFolder.filePath("/ArcGIS/Runtime") //mobilePath

property string dataPath: runtimePath + "/Data"

property string InputMMPK: "CARCommune.mmpk"

Thanks in advance

@Mathan-M Query 1: it depends on OS and what other devices are attached. On Windows a SDCard usually gets a drive letter assigned to it, but you never know which one. So, you cannot know in advance. Either user has to select the drive or you detect changes.

Hi @jsulm

@Mathan-M Are you sure your app will have the access rights to write to the root of the SDCard? On mobile systems an app usually can only write to dedicated locations. I have an Android device but without SDCard, so I cannot check where SDCards are mounted on Android.

Hi @jsulm ,

I have the permission to write on the SD Card. I suspect the path syntax.I copied the .mmpk file in the SD card\root
as a input of .mmpk file in the app, I tried bellow path syntax.

//Input Path
//property string strMmpkdataPath: ":/Resources/CARCommune.mmpk" //Mobile SD Card Path

//property string strMmpkdataPath: "../Resources/CARCommune.mmpk" //Mobile SD Card Path

property string strMmpkdataPath: "qrc:/Resources/CARCommune.mmpk" ////Mobile SD Card URL

Can you do

property string strMmpkdataPath: "/sdcard/pathToMmpk/CARCommune.mmpk"
