system.DocumentsDirectory android permissions?

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Im going to post here as I think the issue is on the Ansca side rather then in the general dev forums…

I am writing a local file something.html after parsing an xml file. I save it in the system.DocumentsDirectory.

I can verify the file exists… but when I send it to the webpopup I get some weird directory that doesnt exist /data/data/packagename/app_data/MYURL

[lua] --This is the mock of the name that I get back from data added here for some clarity
local msgfile = “something.html”

– simple call back
local function listener( event )
native.showAlert(“title”, event.url)
end

– lets verify that the file exists on drive in the space we think it is
local path = system.pathForFile( msgfile, system.DocumentsDirectory )
local file = io.open( path, “r” )

if file then
– yep found the file adding the alert just here
native.showAlert(“epic”, path)
local options = { hasBackground=false, baseUrl=system.DocumentsDirectory, urlRequest=listener }
– I also tried sub path in the msgfile and removed the options… no diff
native.showWebPopup(50, 50, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight-20, msgfile, options)
else
– failed to find the file in the system.DocumentDirectory (I never get here)
native.showAlert(“epic”, “fail”)
end[/lua]

It was suggested that its a permissions issue on android and a search for “/data/data/packagename/app_data/MYURL” will turn up another post that was a bug. Looking for help… we can’t go to market till its resolved.

Haven’t heard anything from ansca… this is getting critical… we are delaying marketing and launch activities until we can resolve this. [import]uid: 37036 topic_id: 9310 reply_id: 34273[/import]

This has been fixed and available in the next Daily Build (498).
