Monkey X Android File System Access?

[RonTek]

Hi, is there a way or module to read or access files or local file system in android other than the assets monkey://data folder?

[Xaron]

No that's almost impossible due to the sandbox stuff. Apps usually are not allowed to read anything not related to their own space, except for apps that have root permissions on a rooted device.

Thanks Martin. Yes, I also thought this might be related to having root access.

I've managed to navigate files using a 'browse' button on tablets / phones without root access malarky, within the HTML5 compiler.
