Misery loves company. I saw your posting this morning so I tried to save settings in my app. No Luck. I seem to be having the same problem.

Thanks, Jacque, but still no luck. I followed your suggestions to the letter, including the Copy Files pane, and triple-checked all my typing (including quotation marks), but still getting a false for "file1.txt exists". (Actually, "file1.txt" is named "titleAndUniqueIDindex.txt".) Thinking maybe the IDE's "test" function is the problem, I also built a standalone apk, used Dropbox to transfer it to my tablet, and installed from there. But still get false for "file1.txt exists". Tried everything both with LC 5.0.2 and LC 5.5.rc2. Plus tried using the "search" function of a file explorer app for Android, but could not find my app or its folders (tho being new to Android, I don't really know what to look for and where). Here are the paths returned for "engine", "documents", and "cache", followed by the script that implemented your path suggestion. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// file:/data/app/com.test_rc2.niconiko-1.apk/file1.txt file:/data/data/com.test_rc2.niconiko/files/file1.txt file:/data/data/com.test_rc2.niconiko/cache/file1.txt -- put "nada" into tData put ("file:" & specialFolderPath("engine") & slash & "titleAndUniqueIDindex.txt") into tPath answer "File in engine exists:" && there is a file tPath -- confirms existence if there is a file tPath then put url tPath into tData end if put "Engine path & data =" & cr & tPath & cr & tData & cr after tRez put "nada" into tData put ("file:" & specialFolderPath("documents") & slash & "titleAndUniqueIDindex.txt") into tPath answer "File in documents exists:" && there is a file tPath -- confirms existence if there is a file tPath then put url tPath into tData put "Documents path & data =" & cr & tPath & cr & tData & cr after tRez end if put "Documents path & data =" & cr & tPath & cr & tData & cr after tRez put "nada" into tData put ("file:" & specialFolderPath("cache") & slash & "titleAndUniqueIDindex.txt") into tPath answer "File in cache exists:" && there is a file tPath -- confirms existence if there is a file tPath then put url tPath into tData end if put "Cache path & data =" & cr & tPath & cr & tData & cr after tRez put tRez into field "test" /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Anyone? -- Nicolas Cueto _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
