Store images on external sd card

Post by Wire14 »

Hi,

I don't know if it's my fault or the fault of my Android device. I use a galaxy Tab s 8.1 with android 5. The tablet has an sd card slot. But if i change the folder in the qdd start screen to the external sd card it's not possible to save the images on the external card. Is this an android issue because I read something about the rights of apps to save data on external SD cards?

Don't know if this is a future request or an error report.

Regards, Chris

It's Android security measure.
Cannot be done unless app has special permissions from Google.

There is a work around - root your device.

Hi,

thanks for the answer. But I read an article some days ago. There was mentioned under Android 5 there are new rights for apps to store date on external sd cards. The only restriction is that the user has to agree that the app gets the rights. (similar to install apps from third party players)

Cheers

That's true but it needs special implementation of Android feature to be able to access SD card.
Possibly Zoltan hasn't yet implemented it.
