can't share a saved document

Hello my name is Arjen and i am new in this forum.

My problem is that I am not able to share a saved file from my Samsung Galaxy phone and/or SD-card

As soon as I try to share a test.txt, I get an error message:

Error 2001: The File file://test.txt could not been found on your device. For some reason I cant get the proper path. (have tested also file:///mnt/sdcard/test.txt gives the same error)

The test.txt file is directly stored on the SD-card and not in any directory, is I store it internally on the phone, same problem and error message.

What is going wrong?

You cannot read a file on the SD card, only on the internat SD card. Did you look with a file browser what the real filename is?

I assume you read the documentation? Cheers, Ghica.

ReadFrom(text fileName)

Reads text from a file in storage. Prefix the filename with / to read from a specific file on the SD card (for example, /myFile.txt will read the file /sdcard/myFile.txt). To read assets packaged with an application (also works for the Companion) start the filename with // (two slashes). If a filename does not start with a slash, it will be read from the application's private storage (for packaged apps) and from /sdcard/AppInventor/data for the Companion.

hello Ghica, thanks for quick response.

Yes i read all the documents and i am storing the file after creation in the internal SD-card in my phone

I have seen that the name in the share file is not correct, even after changing it io text.txt still same problem

you have to use the full path for the Sharing component like this file:///mnt/sdcard/text.txt

I have to apologias for not responding on your messages. I was working outside and had no internet connection.

Thanks for your input, I can store now in my internal memory of my telephone. Storing on the SDcard is for some reason not possible.

If I use the command “/text.txt” it is stored in the root and if I use “text.txt” it is stored in the app inventor directory.

the share problem is also solved!
