Fix SD card access under KitKat (Android 4.4) #18
Comments
Original comment by |
This is looking like it might end up as a non-issue. It's been over two years since I've had a chance to play with the code, but I can't replicate this anymore on my current device running Marshmallow (6.0.1). Obviously, it would be "best" if I update the code to specifically look for KitKat devices and disable the broken functionality. That said, with KitKat being over two years old and unlikely to appear on new devices, it might become moot quickly. Latest Android version rankings show KitKat at around 28% of the market (currently the most common), but that will probably start dropping rapidly. I hate to say it, but I might just close this with a "won't fix" status. |
Whoops... let me retract that. I forgot that my Marshmallow device doesn't have a removable SD card, just internal storage. Trying again on my tablet which has Lollipop (5.0.2) and an SD card, I could both read and write to the internal storage but only read from the SD card. Writing to the SD card fails. So I guess I do need to look into this. Unfortunately, in order to test the later Android versions in the emulator, I may need to upgrade to Android Studio, which is a bigger task. I'll keep this open for now. |
