AIR Android app, access internal storage

[Baic]

Hello! I'm developing an AIR android app. I want to be able to write/read files in File.documentsDirectory, which is the Internal Storage folder in Android (I think, or Device Storage). I don't want the SD card, and not the App storage folder, but the folder which you can access through My files or via a PC when you connect the phone with a USB cable.

So, File.documentsDirectory will get me there, but only if I go into the Application settings, click on my app, go to permissions, and click "Storage". Then it will work, otherwise not. I've already given the app permission to

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

That doesnt work, I need to go in manually in the permissions settings and add the Storage folder.

I want this to be automatic, do I need to put a URI or something in the Application.xml?

I'm stuck, please help me!

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Ok, solved it, this will give my app permission:

var file:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath(saveFolder);

file.addEventListener(PermissionEvent.PERMISSION_STATUS, onPermission);

file.requestPermission();

But I got another problem... the PermissionEvent is not dispatched... Now I need to solve that

Solved second problem with a Activation event rather than a PermissionEvent... When the Permission window is closed the ActivationEvent will trigger. But it would be nice to have the PermissionEvent work because I have to add some extra code inside the ActivationEvent to make sure it's the right ActivationEvent. Because it will also trigger if I go in and out of the app for example.

Just wrighting this in case anyone else has the same problem.
