Good Day livecoders,

Guys, I am trying to create a database on my android device "Acer iconia B1" I used this script    

------ > put specialFolderPath("/storage/sdcard1") & "/cbms.db" into tDatabasePath

but I got error message, I can't create the database

I already checked the application permission in the standalone setting.

what's wrong with my code, guys?

Thank you.

Regards

Hi snop21,
There are only a few specialFolderPath/s and you cannot just create them. :)
Look in the dictionary.

Thank you.

Hi snop21,
Have you tested what happens when you just use specialFolderPath("documents") and the user moves the app to the sd card?? :)
Install Location>Allow External Storage
