Unable to read files from ResourceDirectory on Android

/data/data/com.mycompany.myapp/app_data is the sandbox of your app on device.  I would guess if you also printed out system.TemporaryDirectory you would get something like: /data/data/com.mycompany.myapp/app_data/tmp  and system.CachesDirectory should be the same ans system.TemporaryDirectory on Android.

Thanks @Rob,

So since “system.DocumentsDirectory” on the device is “/data/data/com.mycompany.myapp/app_data”, how do I get to the actual Documents folder in Android? (the folder that can be accessed by the user via file browser)

Thanks

You might be able to use the LFS module to get there.  Corona itself cannot reach outside of the Sandbox.
