Just installed the beta version beside the stable one, on my Android device. Is there any specific action needed to share Maps, WPs, Airspaces and profiles files working in the stable version?
Many thanks. |

on first run files are copied from stable to beta, after that, you need to copy all file manually using android file explorer or by connecting your device to a computer...

Hi Bruno, thanks a lot for you quick support. I did a new installation via Play store, and a first run. Than navigated the Device's folders looking for the beta's folders, but I didn't found any dedicate folder. I'm only able to find the stable version's folder tree having the standard subfolders inside. Even succesfully saving a new aircraft configuration file (.acf) in the beta, it is unpossible to be found by the file explorer search function. It seems to make a kind of hidden folder tree (file explorer "show hidden files" option is active). Any idea on possible solutions? Many thanks. |

Great, here they are!!! It seems to be a non searcheable area, I was not aware about that. Just to let you know, even if I'm almost sure you are already aware of it, when I get there, a message appears as page header, reporting that "the contents of this folder will not be accessible anymore becouse of system restrictions in Android R." and it is suggested to remove any personal file from this folder, as soon as possible.
Thanks a lot. |

I'm not aware of any restrictions. I copy the data files from my laptop to a Samsung A5 (2017) smartphone by USB cable and Google Chrome browser. No problems or strange messages. |

using "File" android app, you will see "LK8000-beta" in document provider list
if "file" shorcut is not available in your device you can add it by installing "Files Shortcut (No Ads)" from Gplay ( the one made by Delta 8 studio )

Hi guys, Android file management by apps seems to be an ever-evolving mess, changing with each new Android release :-(
I am trying to synchronize the LK8000 folder with my desktop with syncthing, but syncthing is not given access to Android/data, only to Android/media (nextcloud for example stores its local storafe on Android/media)
Do you know if with the DocumentsProvider method a syncing app such as syncthing can access the folder structure i.e. is there an accessible mount/shortcut to /Internal storage/Android/data/org.lk8000.test/files, or maybe another method?
Otherwise would it make sense to switch from /Android/data/ to /Android/media? |

i don't know, but i think not, because the goal of this change on android is to forbid access to file from other app without asking to user...
you probably need to look for desktop app to sync device when it is connected as usb mass storage...

media is only usable to store media content (image, video, ...) |

Why don't you make beta version in the same way as stable version and put all files on top of "Internal storage" ? |

It means that we will have to do magic moves every time we need to upload MAPs, tasks, airspaces.
f*k! |

When I connect my phone to my PC, click OK to using USB to transfer files. I have a shortcut on my desktop to Noika 8. When I open it I get to select internal drive or SD card. Select internal and navigate through to the LK8000 folder I want. A few more clicks than there used to be, but still quite simple once you know the folders to click, no magic. |
