Focus sdcard2

[henrikvrtraveler]

Hi!

I am attempting to access the sdcard2 folder from inside my application, I've tried many different paths however I am not sure if my app is allowed to access this folder / sd card.

Any tips on what I can do to access the sdcard2? :)

 

 

I've tried the following paths:
/storage/ext_sd/

/sdcard2

Have you added the permissions to the android manifest?

 

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Indeed!

 

I've also ran the commands:

adb shell pm grant APP android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGEadb shell pm grant APP android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

To no avail.

 

I fear the paths might not be working, or the app doesn't have permissions.

 

We're running Kiosk, do you think that may be altering permissions or something?

Any further ideas? 🙂

What game engine are you using? Can you share a code snippet that includes the full paths you're testing?

Unreal Engine 4.21

Code snippet:
 

FString filePath = FString(FileLocation);
    IPlatformFile& PlatformFile = FPlatformFileManager::Get().GetPlatformFile();

    if (PlatformFile.FileExists(*filePath)) {

 

But it will return false on the sd card.
Works for files on the inbuilt storage, we are using kiosk mode with that SD card, would that interfere?

 

The paths are like before:

/storage/ext_sd/

/sdcard2

 

Or more specifically paths like:
/sdcard2/images/1.png
/storage/ext_sd/images/1.png

Using ADB the paths exists and files are found from my windows machine.

@henrikvrtraveler we managed that with unity : link

Hope this can help.

@VRC Thank you, I'll have a look this week if that will help us out. Perhaps we can create a similar system for Unreal 🙂
