Hello,

These are the private folders of your application. As far as I know, QStandardPaths was changed to return them instead of public locations under Android.

You should use Android APIs to get paths to public locations instead.

Hi,

I’m having an hard time figuring out how to write files from a Qt Android app, to a location that is public to the user, outside of the scoped storage.

I’m currently using Qt 5.15.9 and targeting API 29 (Android 10). I have set in my manifest requestLegacyExternalStorage=true

And then I have tried to write a dummy file to the following StandardLocations:

DesktopLocation - "/data/user/0/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/test_file.txt" DocumentsLocation - "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/Documents/test_file.txt" MusicLocation - "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/Music/test_file.txt" PicturesLocation - "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/Pictures/test_file.txt" HomeLocation - "/data/user/0/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/test_file.txt" GenericDataLocation - "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/test_file.txt" DownloadLocation - "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/files/Download/test_file.txt" GenericCacheLocation - "/data/user/0/com.acme.org <http://com.acme.org>/cache/test_file.txt”

Then, with the files app I try to find any of the files without success… :(

How do we write to public files to public locations, outside the scoped storage? Is it currently possible?

Thanks in advance!

Nuno
