Title: Android External SD Card: read access but not write access
Post by: lagostelle on June 26, 2014, 01:27:58 PM
Hi,



On my Android 4.4.3 (Samsung Galaxy S4) oruxmaps CAN READ from external sd card (/mnt/extSdCard) but oruxmaps CAN NOT WRITE on external sd card.



I think this is a major issue because we can not store data in external memory and internal memory could not be enough.



Thanks in advance for your consideration.



Alex.

Hi,



It is a problem after kitkat.



Next version will create the folder com.orux.oruxmaps y all the external devices in Android/data/, where you will be able to put your maps. It is the only folder where each app can write.



I think that you can test this feature in the last beta version.

hi



I have caterpillar b15q, with kitkat.

BIIG problem, when I want to save offline maps, I can do that only on internal memory, not on sd card.

With one or two maps, memory full.

How to fix that.



BTW, your app is best. Have garmin gpsmap62st, but in past, with motorolla defy+ and your app, no way to get lost. Make mistake buying gps, your app is easy to use, much better. Except now with kitkat shit

hi

now my phone cat b15q is root. But again no way to save maps on sd card.

When I move Oruxmaps on sd card, it can not read offline maps. Stupid KITKAT. Any way to fix this, or I have to wait new version???



Thanx

Hi



I found a solution on my B15Q even without root:

  • Uninstall Oruxmaps
  • create manualy the folder:"/Android/data/com.orux.oruxmaps" on your SD card
  • reinstall a new version of Oruxmaps.


The reason is that Catapilar messed it up and made the kitkat issue even worse: Apps cannot cerate their designated folder on the SD-card. But they can modify the rights.
