win32 LFS problem with separator

Recent changes to path handling (most likely [0]) caused AssetCatalogTest.create_catalog_after_loading_file to fail on WIN32.

The test relied on the resulting path to be joined with "/" as a path separator. The resulting path used both forward and back-slashes. While these do work for some API's on WIN32, mixing both in a file path isn't expected behavior in most cases, so update the tests to use native slash direction for file-paths.

 * \note If you want a trailing slash, add `SEP_STR` as the last path argument,
 * duplicate slashes will be cleaned up.

GetKeyState is for messages when you need the state at the time the message was sent.

GetAsyncKeyState is for the state right now.

The high bit will be set if it's down, and it returns a short, hence the 1000000000000000, or 0x8000 mask


Notes:
wparam contains the virtual key code, lparam contains the the key state vector.

pathfileexists Qt

QFile Class seems to be "kind of" the equivalent?

refs:

bool QFile::exists(const QString &fileName) Returns true if the file specified by fileName exists; otherwise returns false. Note: If fileName is a symlink that points to a non-existing file, false is returned.

I will need to mix this and _waccess.

ANDROID

documenting my research here :)

In android studio:

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is deprecated (and is not granted) when targeting Android 13+. If you need to write to shared storage, use the MediaStore.createWriteRequest intent.

Inspection info:Scoped storage is enforced on Android 10+ (or Android 11+ if using requestLegacyExternalStorage). In particular, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE will no longer provide write access to all files; it will provide the equivalent of READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE instead. As of Android 13, if you need to query or interact with MediaStore or media files on the shared storage, you should be using instead one or more new storage permissions:

  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES
  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO
  • android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO

and then add maxSdkVersion="33" to the older permission. See the developer guide for how to do this: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13#granular-media-permissions

The MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission can be used to manage all files, but it is rarely necessary and most apps on Google Play are not allowed to use it. Most apps should instead migrate to use scoped storage. To modify or delete files, apps should request write access from the user as described at https://goo.gle/android-mediastore-createwriterequest.

To learn more, read these resources: Play policy: https://goo.gle/policy-storage-help Allowable use cases: https://goo.gle/policy-storage-usecases

Issue id: ScopedStorage More info: https://goo.gle/android-storage-usecases Vendor: Android Open Source Project Contact: https://groups.google.com/g/lint-dev Feedback: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708


WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Added in API level 4

public static final String WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Allows an application to write to external storage. Note: If your app targets Build.VERSION_CODES.R or higher, this permission has no effect. If your app is on a device that runs API level 19 or higher, you don't need to declare this permission to read and write files in your application-specific directories returned by Context.getExternalFilesDir(String) and Context.getExternalCacheDir(). Learn more about how to modify media files that your app doesn't own, and how to modify non-media files that your app doesn't own. If your app is a file manager and needs broad access to external storage files, then the system must place your app on an allowlist so that you can successfully request the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. Learn more about the appropriate use cases for developer.android.com/reference/android//guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#min">minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion values are set to 3 or lower, the system implicitly grants your app this permission. If you don't need this permission, be sure your targetSdkVersion is 4 or higher. Protection level: dangerous Constant Value: "android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

CANNOT ACCESS android/data/packagename/files/ on Android 29+

CANNOT ACCESS EXTERNAL FILES (need new granular permissions) on Android 29+

There is this new Launch an activity for result ActivityResultLauncher:

which replaces old onActivityResult:

Quite a few changes need to be done:

  • Build.gradle (project):
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
        //TAG-TOP-GRADLE-BUILDREPOS//
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.7.3'
        //TAG-CLASSPATH-DEPENDENCIES//
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        //TAG-TOP-GRADLE-ALLREPOS//
    }
}

//TAG-TOP-GRADLE-MAIN//
  • build.gradle (app):
dependencies {
    implementation files('libs/gideros.aar')
    //TAG-DEPENDENCIES//
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    implementation 'androidx.legacy:legacy-support-v4:1.0.0'
    implementation 'androidx.activity:activity:1.9.3' // XXX To simplify photo picker integration, include version 1.7.0 or higher of the androidx.activity library
//    implementation 'androidx.fragment:fragment:1.8.5' // XXX

    configurations.implementation { // XXX
        exclude group: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin', module: 'kotlin-stdlib-jdk8'
    }

    // ******************************************
    // Register ActivityResult handler

//    static ActivityResultLauncher<String> mGetContent = registerForActivityResult(

//        return null;
//    }

    // Register ActivityResult handler
    // GetContent creates an ActivityResultLauncher<String> to let you pass

    static ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> mGetContent = registerForActivityResult(
            new ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(),
            (result) -> {
                Log.d("XXX", "XXX ActivityResultContracts: " + result.getPath());
                // code to process data from activity called
            });

    private static ActivityResultLauncher<Intent> registerForActivityResult(
            ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult getContent, ActivityResultCallback<Uri> activityResultCallback) {
        Log.d("XXX", "XXX ActivityResultLauncher");
        return null;
    }
    // ******************************************

Then we call ActivityResultLauncher

    public static void getPictureFunction() {
        Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
//        sActivity.get().startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_SELECT_PICTURE);
//        // Pass in the mime type you want to let the user select
//        // as the input
//        mGetContent.launch("image/*");
        GMedia.mGetContent.launch(i); // Intent
    }

This needs a lot of changes I am not able to do in Gideros (adding the new ActivityResultLauncher in GiderosAndroidPlayer/.../GiderosApplication.java) and some other stuff :-(

I added notes in the wiki where the plugin doesn't work anymore on new android!
