OK...I'm being dumb again.

I want to include a file in my app app_test.txt standalone.

When I try to access it on an android:

put url ("file:" & specialFolderPath("engine") & slash & "app_test.txt") into tFileContents
answer tFileContents

It gives me "no files"

So...where is it storing app_test.txt?

Thank you

ok... I was stupid.

You access it this way:

put url ("file:" & specialFolderPath("documents") & slash & "app_test.txt") into tFileContents
answer tFileContents

Sure?

Everything you add via the "Add files" folder in the standalone builder will DEFINITIVELY be in:
specialfolderpath("engine")

specialfoderpath("documents") is a folder on the actual device and NOTHING is being copied
to that folder automatically by Livecode/your app!

P.S.
Are you sure this is not a leftover from an earlier version of your app?

thank you. Yes, I have so many prior versions...

Do some cleaning up
