Revision history [back]

Hi all

everything was OK in 3.3.0.14, but nor in 3.3.0.16.
Android apps have only read access to sdcard.

I can say that because :
* with AlienDalvik Control, I can browse gallery (my picture are on the sdcard), but camera app can't take picture, saying that a issue occured during saving picture,
* in whatsapp, I can't download image or video,
* Android Store (from jolla Store) can't install or update apps, saying that it can't write in SD card.

Native apps can read and write on sdcard.

It mounted in /run/media/nemo/7397-7B02/, and this directory is owned by nemo user.

I saw this TJC question but I don't know if it is still available in Rokua.

Is there a way to give write access to sdcard to android apps?

EDIT :
Rokua release note says :

Many Android apps can access the SD card, now. For instance, OsmAnd and HERE WeGo map apps can save the offline map tiles to the card. Likewise, Spotify can save music to the card. Apps like WhatsApp can attach pictures from the SD card to messages now. The card name must not contain spaces.

"the card name", what does it mean? the mounted folder? something else?

EDIT2 : I tested with my old Jolla 1, with the same sdcard and android OpenCamera app, and it works. My Jolla 1 is also in 3.3.0.16.

So, this is not related to 3.3.0.16, and the SDCard is not faulty.
