Hello everyone!

Since Wednesday i keep searching for the solution of a problem.

My app loads a document from the smartphone SD Card, with this code:

var file_lista:File=File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("/sdcard/lista.xml");
var fileStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); 
try {
  fileStream.open(file_lista, FileMode.READ); 
  texto.text="Filestream activado";
} catch(e:Error) {
  texto.text=e.message;
}

It gives me the error 3001 - Folder or file acess denied, but i have already written the permission on manifest:

<manifestAdditions><![CDATA[<manifest>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
</manifest>]]></manifestAdditions>
  </android>

And it continues to give me that error.

I can't find what's going on.

Can you help me?

Ok, now i understood.

I have tried this way and creating two stream variables (one for read stream and another for write stream):

try {
  stream.open(file_lista, FileMode.WRITE); 
  texto.text+="Filestream WRITE activado \n";
} catch(e:Error) {
  texto.text+=e.message;
}
try {
  stream.open(file_lista, FileMode.READ); 
  texto.text+="Filestream read activado";
} catch(e:Error) {
  texto.text+=e.message+"\n";
}
var prefsXML:XML = XML(stream.readUTFBytes(stream.bytesAvailable)); 
stream.close();

None of both worked fine.

Now i will try this way:Reading from and writing to an XML preferences file | Adobe Developer Connection​

Edit:

var fileStream_write:FileStream = new FileStream(); 
  fileStream_write.open(file_lista, FileMode.WRITE); 
  texto.text="Filestream WRITE activado \n";
  fileStream_write.close();
var fileStream_read:FileStream = new FileStream(); 
  fileStream_read.open(file_lista, FileMode.READ); 
  texto.text+="Filestream read activado";
var prefsXML:XML = XML(fileStream_read.readUTFBytes(fileStream_read.bytesAvailable)); 
fileStream_read.close();

This way, does not work either.


try:

 
  1. var fileStream_write:FileStream=newFileStream();
  2. fileStream_write.open(file_lista,FileMode.WRITE);
  3. texto.text="FilestreamWRITEactivado\n";
  4. fileStream_write.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE,closeF);
  5. fileStream_write.close();
function closeF(e:Event):void{
  1. var fileStream_read:FileStream=newFileStream();
  2. fileStream_read.open(file_lista,FileMode.READ);
  3. texto.text+="Filestreamreadactivado";
  4. var prefsXML:XML=XML(fileStream_read.readUTFBytes(fileStream_read.bytesAvailable));
  5. // do something here to test if prefsXML is defined
  6. fileStream_read.close();
 
}

Nop, because i have tried with both (read and write) and didn't worked.
Do you see any other possible solution?

oh, i didn't even know there was a READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, but after looking on Manifest.permission | Android Developers i see there is.
so you need both to read and write.
and the same app that writes would need to read, not different apps.
