Raccoon Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I fixed the similar problem with btsync by pointing to it's dir on Sdcard/Android/btcyncblablabut there is no such dir for bittorrent so how do we save to the sdcard directly? p.s.this 4.4 update is really annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 yeah just reinstalled itit doesn't created it's own folder in Android/data on the sdcardso where to save the torrents so it actually allows it to write? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 If you're willing to root your device, you can use the Xposed module HandleExternalStorage. I preferred flashing a different 4.4.2 ROM that doesn't have the external storage limitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Don't want to root it just for that.Bittorrent should have a dir on the SD card where it can write. The question is what should be the name of that dir, since it doesn't create one for itself and com.bittorrent doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 sdcard/Android/com.bittorrent.syncor something like that is the dir you need to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raccoon Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 sdcard/Android/com.bittorrent.syncor something like that is the dir you need to use. Yes, that's the dir that worked for BIttorrent SYnc, but here i was asking about Bittorrent app (I believe i startes this thread in the bittorrent sub-forum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odilbert Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 @Firon: I don't get the point. Why don't you have write access with the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission? The android API documentation says, that it should work... http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The android API documentation says, that it should work... http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.htmlAs of March, 2011, applications have to belong to the media_rw group to modify the contents of an SD card. To gain access to this group, a permission called WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE was added.
