Hi there,

Google restricted access to the android/data folders beginning with Android 11 (if I remeber correctly). Now with Android 14 you cannot write to the folder used to store user PDFs, which is located in the SkyDemon app's folder below android/data. There seems to be no easy way to write documents there w/o rooting the device or using advanced remote debugging features.

Therefore I suggest to implement an import functionality to import user documents into SkyDemon on a specific device. This way SkyDemon can handle the file storage transparently and may overcome certain restrictions.

Thx,
Stefan

That's already the recommended way of getting user documents into SkyDemon. If you have a PDF file, you should be able to "open" it with SkyDemon, which will import it into that folder.

Hi Tim, thank you for the reply. However, I found no way to "open with" SkyDemon. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lite running Android 14 and the latest SkyDemon version. Using a file explorer app I try to "open with" a pdf document resting in the downloads folder. However, SkyDemon is not among the apps shown as choices. Using "send" instead of "open with" presents more choices but again no SkyDemon there. What's the trick?
