Allow better/precise specification of the file/save directory

Open jgriffiths opened this issue 10 years ago • 8 comments

Currently the user has to guess where the file will end up.

We should use ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT from https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html for this on Android 4.4.

Dear Dominik, many thanks for developing and maintaining this great piece of software!

Indeed, this feature ist definitely necessary. What's the path at the moment anyway?

@android441user The code currently uses Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to determine where to put the exported file. The API documentation explains this here.

WHERE does my exported file actually end up? I cannot find it anywhere.

We need a dynamic path that can be configured.

EDIT: Ok, after seeing https://github.com/SufficientlySecure/calendar-import-export/blob/3fde8881febcb9589bc5532e557ed1ca24548d77/CalendarImportExport/src/main/java/org/sufficientlysecure/ical/SaveCalendar.java#L147-L160 it's clear that I can just put any subpath not just the file name without extension into the Textbox. So I put my sub path to my Syncthing directory in there and it's properly saved the preferences and consequently used.

Directly to the base of your internal storage it seems
