SD-card / external storage on Android 5.0+
Answered
hi folks,
why lous does not ask for the permision to write to the external storage? the time off KK is over. MM or Nougat have the functionality to allow the app to have full access to a specific folder on the ext-sd-card...
if this is allowed backups become obsolete ;-)
thx in advance!

The same question
Hi Torsten,
locus needs fast access to the DB Files. Access via Document Provider (ask for the permision..) is very slow.
But, you are able to store huge or many files on the external SD. Many (mapVecter, maps, srtm,..) but not all.
Photos and videos has to be on the internal SD.

Hi Torsten,
moving Locus to a specific folder on external SD card is possible but has quite a lot of drawbacks, see http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:faq:use_sdcard_on_kitkat, more info about access on Android 5+ is here: http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:faq:android5api.

Hi Michal,
thank you for the very infomative pages in docs.locumaps.eu. I'm using very successful XinteralSD (module of Xposed) which let you select apps which has write access to external SD card.
BUT: these are all methods not working on Nougat. In my case srtm is very small (300MB) against data/media (2.3GB) and data/media MUST be on internal Card. This is the Reason for my idea Media fills up internal SD card. So please vote for this idea. I cannot update to Nougat wihtout this feature.

@jürgen-> unfortunately xposed is not yet sdk24 (nougat) compatible... in the past i used your discribed method too
@menion-> what do you mean with slow? locus is not a 3d game or similar... for most people a fast sd card will imho fit all requirements... and sorry but to stipulate the way and to shrink the possibilities is not state of the art :( ... but locus is and was amazing but to go back to the root(s) could be an improvement ;-)
@michal-> to use the "private" folder on ext. sd (android/data/menion.android.locus.pro/files/locus) is an alternate method but as discribed here locus will be deleted during uninstall... this is what i want to be prevented from

If SRTM and vector maps can be written to external SD, why not the track export ?

Hello guys,
I believe that original question was already answered.
- what is possible to do is already wrote in manual
- what isn't possible to do is also wrote in manual
- and rest, like 'data/media' or 'export' are possible to create, but no one yet it do it, that's all, case closed. Thanks for understanding.
