Hi,
Im trying to port over a desktop app to Android (and iPhone when I get one), but have run into an early problem with data files.
My app creates and uses a few data files and a couple of databases. I setup the base path for these as a global and reference that throughout the app, but I can't figure out what the path should be for the mobile devices.
I can see there is a permission for external storage, do I need to set that as I'm not interested in sd cards etc, just storing a few preference files for my apps own internal workings.

Re: Android paths for apps data files
Hi cerebrumaggravated,
welcome to the forum!
On the mobile platform we have write permission here: specialfolderpath("documents")
So all user data need to go there!
Hint:
This is very different from the Docs folder on a desktop machine, on mobile it is a special folder
inside of the application package.
Best
