Hi

I would like to know if it's possible to save and load data from external SD and other folder than the "default save folder" ?

For example, I would like to save the file of the current party on an SD card, on my samsung note. Is it possible to do that and how ?

Thank you.

No, it isn't possible. This is for security reasons.

In Windows, you can use other folders and drives with the raw commands.

Actually, apps can do this. AppGameKit has permissions in Android to do this. AppGameKit is capable of doing this and actually writes to the SD card with Android 2.3. AppGameKit does not, unfortunately, allow you to set the raw write directory on Android. Should it? Yes it would be nice. For now we have to deal with the app's secure directories on the root.
If you put in a feature request on

I'd second the motion, but I don't currently have any use for it.

Thank you for your answer.

In fact, I would like just know if it's possible, if (one of these days) I create a 2D application, to save the image for example. Or simply, to save my party and copy it from my tablet to my phone ^^.

If you use the PrintImage() command on Android it will save the specified image to the SD root. However you can't customize it in any way, it just saves using AppName###.png or similar. I still wish this command would be expanded to support custom string names and storage location on Android as it would prove very handy that way.

@Blendman - if you want to transfer between mobile devices you might be able to use the NFC commands. You also might be able to hack the java code to do this for you. I've never read up on writing/moving files via java, but it should be a possibility.
