I have two AGK2 apps.

One gathers data and writes it to a file.
The second app wants to read that data from the file created by the first app.

App #2 needs to read a file from a directory 'owned' and written to by app #1.

Is it possible to do this on android?

Thanks,

You could try the raw path commands:

file = OpenToWrite("raw:Folder\File.type")


to save or read from a raw directory.

You can use GetDocumentsPath() to get the appropriate folder to write to.
I think you still need to add the raw: tag as well
You will also need to change your apps permissions to allow it to write to storage (Checkbox in the export dialog)

If you don't have too much data then maybe you could use SaveSharedVariable

I think the SaveSharedVariable() is probably the best for your needs because it specifically targets separate Apps where as you might run into permission issues using a file
