Regarding the /sdcard issues I reported with Bishop I think it is
actually due to the changes Google introduced in API level 29 / Android
10 (see Timmy's earlier post).
I was previously compiling my Ezra Project debug app for API level 26
and there I didn't have issues reading/writing /sdcard.
But with API level 29 / Android 10 I also faced issues reading/writing
/sdcard with my test app (got a permission denied message in adb logcat).
To fix that I added the following option in config.xml in the Android
platform section:
<edit-configfile="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml"mode="merge"target="/manifest/application"xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";>
<applicationandroid:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"/>
</edit-config
@Troy
Can you add that option to the Bishop configuration? I fear it otherwise
cannot read/write /sdcard on Android 10 or later.
See also:
https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/use-cases#opt-out-scoped-storage
I have not found out yet how to use the new "Scoped Storage" model in
native code (C/C++). The thing is that Google is already creating facts
by not supporting the "legacy model" any longer starting from Android 11:
*Caution:*After you update your app to target Android 11 (API
level 30),the system ignores the|requestLegacyExternalStorage|attribute
<https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage#scoped-storage>when
your app is running on Android 11 devices, so your app must be ready to
support scoped storage and tomigrate app data
<https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/use-cases#migrate-legacy-storage>for
users on those devices.

It's not used for anything in particular, just as a write test. We
used to store (I guess we still do) stuff in a [globals] section like
a directory to scan for new module when SWORD first starts up and then
it would install those, letting an external program or user just dump
stuff to a folder, which would get install the next time their app
started up. That was typically used when we supported individual
module downloads by users from our webserver, but we discourage that
now and instead encourage use of installmgr.
Anyway, you found exactly the problem. SWORD couldn't write to
/sdcard/sword.
I suspect maybe file permission?
We should probably all read up on the changes Timmy mentions.
I would try this, remove /sdcard/sword entirely and see what Bishop does.
I have had troubles myself making changes to my sdcard, using adb
shell to cd to /sdcard and mkdir xyz, then using a file browser and
looking on the sdcard and not seeing my folder. I wonder if it has
anything to do with the multiple profile support, i.e., can one user
take a photo to the sdcard and then change profiles on the phone and
have another user see that photo.
Anyway, it seems we need to read and experiment a bit.

Hmmm. That's odd. If you can adb logcat your tablet while it is

Thanks Troy!
I see this working with Bishop on my phone (Android 8.1.0).
There Bishop reads from and writes to /sdcard/sword.
However, it is not working on my Tablet (Android 10). I do
have SWORD directories there with this structure:
/sdcard/sword
/sdcard/sword/installMgr
/sdcard/sword/mods.d
/sdcard/sword/modules
When starting Bishop on the Tablet it asks for permissions
and after confirmation it does not show any existing modules
based on the structure above.
Best regards,
Tobias

Yes, that's exactly right. Upon install, Bishop asks for
permissions to read and right files to /sdcard/sword/. If it
is able, it does, if not, it writes to its app’s private
data area.
I don't believe there is anything like this available on
iOS, but I am no expert. I would be interested to learn how
iOS handles other common data files which have multiple apps
needing the ability to read and write, like photos.
Thanks for wanting to coordinate on where files are stored.

Hi Troy!
Happy new year!
Where does Bishop store the SWORD data files on Android?
I was browsing the filesystem but could not find the
respective directory.
I am asking because I am working on Android support for
node-sword-interface and I wanted to align this and use
a common place for the SWORD data files. So far I
thought /sdcard/sword would be the right place.
Best regards,
Tobias
