Problems at writing files in External Storage (Android)

[CharlieFuu69]

As I was reading in the Ren'Py documentation, the renpy.request_permission() function was added in v7.4.9.
I wanted to put it into practice in my game so that the player could have saved a TXT file with their Nickname and account password. For this I decided to use the following line to request the storage permission:

Permission request in runtime :

Code: Select all

$ renpy.request_permission("android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE")

That line makes the runtime request for write permission. So far everything is fine.
The problem lies at the time of writing or creating a folder in the player's storage, which I use the following code:

Make directory :
Considering that the "os" module was imported

Code: Select all

def dir_startup():
    android_user_path = os.environ["EXTERNAL_STORAGE"] + "/Game Files"
    
    if os.path.exists(android_user_path):
        pass ## If the folder exists, it is ignored.
        
    else:
        try:
            os.mkdir(android_user_path)
            print("> Success!")
        except Exception as mkerr:
            print("> Error :", mkerr) ## Catch the exception without crashing the game.

TXT file write :

Code: Select all

def backup_player_id():
    android_user_path = os.environ["EXTERNAL_STORAGE"] + "/Game Files"
    
    try:
        with open(android_user_path + "/Player ID.txt", "w") as f:
            f.write("...") ## Player data is written here.
            f.close()
        print("> Write success!")
    except Exception as writerr:
        print("> Error :", writerr)

When executing those lines of writing, the following exception appears:

Code: Select all

[Errno 1] Operation not permitted: u'/sdcard/Game Files/Player ID.txt'

With the "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission I couldn't create a folder in /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0, but I could create it in /storage/emulated/0/DCIM. I thought that I could write files there, but when trying to write them within that path, the error above appears again.
I tried to use the "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission to give me more freedom to create those folders and write files, but apparently renpy.request_permission() ignores it and doesn't bring up the request at runtime.

This issue would ruin part of the in-game experience, as I plan to make it possible for players to download the tracks to their device if they wish.
Is there a way for Android to allow me to create folders and write files normally? Or this no longer has a solution?

NOTE : As additional information, I am running these tests on a mobile with Android 11.

Modern versions of Android basically prevent you from writing to external storage like that. To make it work, you'll need ask for access to specific folders. That will require a lot of programming with pyjnius, and I'll admit that I was never able to get that working normally.

It's probably best to treat it as a problem without a good solution. Android security is too rough.
