DocumentsUI, the AOSP standard "file manager" is quite buggy here (I use Lineage 15.1), especially in the context of *multi-user* and *work profile* (meaning it does not show files for other users then the main user and is hence not usable). For "simple" file browsing, I therefore substituted DocumentsUI app (com.android.documentsui) with com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro which works much better. My issue and the core of the question is, that the glorious "facebook" WhatsApp Manager when attempting to attach files, resorts to opening the intent specifically for com.android.documentsui and fails even to open com.simplemobiletools.filemanager.pro even in the case that it is the only filemanager still installed. Hence I cannot attach files in other users in Whatsapp, due to the buggy DocumentsUI and WhatsApp not being *willing/capable/well-enough-designed* to make a general "FileOpen" intent, instead of referring directly to com.android.documentsui I understand that WhatsApp is particularly made very little IT-able persons, who do not care about privacy very much, therefore it is clear that the WhatApp is not geared to allow/accomodate for educated and more able users which might desire to use not the standard com.android.documentsui. An answer to this question would be to provide an insight which com.android.documentsui would be able to integrate well with WhatsApp Messenger

I found a weird directory called .=UnchNGa I deleted it via rar for android, otherwise I couldn't delete it. It was in my documents. What could it be? I didn't scan before I deleted it, but after Avira said everything is fine. Edit for anyone wondering: It's faceapp.

A while ago, I asked a question which has been deleted by Community > Some Android apps are in fact ebooks. For example, Learn Lisp > > Is it possible to convert android app ebook to pdf or some other document file types? Are there apps to > do that? Andrew T. commented that: > For this particular app: get the APK, open it with zip viewer, and > browse the /assets folder; they're in HTML files. I can't answer if > there's an automated way to convert it to PDF because the content > structure will not be the same for other apps. Firelord commented that > @AndrewT. good approach.

My questions are: - How can I get the APK file of an app after installing it from Google Play? - Once I find the APK file of an app, can I copy it out of my android phone to my Ubuntu laptop and then extract the hidden document file in the apk file? Or do I have to extract on my android phone? Thanks.

Is there a way to open Microsoft XPS documents on Android, similar to the way Adobe PDF documents have "Adobe Reader for Android"? I took a look in the Market but I didn't find anything.

I'd like to open docx files directly into Google Drive viewer. When another application like Epson iPrint or Termux is installed, I don't have other choice than those apps. When they're not installed, it opens in Google Drive viewer like a charm. I think it is related with intent-filters. When examining manifest files : - Termux has a VIEW intent-fiter on application/*. - Epson iPrint has a VIEW intent-fiter on application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document (and others) which is the mime type of docx document. - Google Drive has a VIEW intent-filter on */* so should be able to open anything. Is there a workaround for this problem ? (appart from uninstalling other apps of course) Is this a bug or on purpose (thanks in advance to android devs here) ? I already tried "Open with" type apps with no chances...

Hello Android community! I am trying to recreate a way of putting a file on my emulator in a location, so that when picked it produces the following uri: **"raw/:storage/..."** My challenge right now is I do not have a reproducible way of doing this. I have only gotten this raw uri once in my testing and can't anymore. This is react native app, and we're using a forked version of image-crop-picker library. Function: https://github.com/aarongrider/react-native-image-crop-picker/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/reactnative/ivpusic/imagepicker/PickerModule.java#L369 This is the function that returns the uri of the selected file: https://github.com/aarongrider/react-native-image-crop-picker/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/reactnative/ivpusic/imagepicker/PickerModule.java#L672 We're getting the following error from line 691 probably: from calling the [resolvePath](https://github.com/aarongrider/react-native-image-crop-picker/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/reactnative/ivpusic/imagepicker/PickerModule.java#L546) which has a specific way of resolving the uri for Android API 19 and above: https://github.com/aarongrider/react-native-image-crop-picker/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/reactnative/ivpusic/imagepicker/PickerModule.java#L546 I am a complete newbie with Android, and just need a consistent way of producing the **raw/:storage/..** file uris. I appreciate any guidance provided here! Thanks :)

There are lots of text documents in my android phone with over 1 mb size. they are typically named with time stamp like "20200419_11". is it safe to delete them? will it enhance my storage space

I want to write a doc or text in my program that came installed on my devices and save it to my 32 gig micro sd that my tablet now recognizes. HOw do I do that?

I have an android phone. I have two apps on the phone, both are able to open djvu files (FBReader & EBookDroid ). But when I'm trying to open a djvu file in "my file", the android system says that it is unable to find an application toopen the file. How I could set a default application to open djvu files?

Screenshot of space issue in Android. Some mysterious documents have taken lot of space. HOW DO I DELETE IT? 

I have non rooted HTC One M8 (Android 6.0) When I try editing document in Google docs aplication, it crashes (more like minimization). That happen every time after I press any letter under document. I tried: 1) deleting cache 2) rebooting phone 3) changing keyboard (current is Swift) Can someone help me? Many thanks!

Some Android apps are actually some kind of documents/ebooks, but it seems that I can't browse it offline. for example, it seems that when my phone is not connected to a network or mobile data service, the following app doesn't load - [LeetCode Cracker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.zhujiaqi.leetcode) How can I browse such apps offline? Thanks.

I have an Android 4.4.2 KitKat device with the Google Drive and Google Docs apps installed. With these I am able to open a Google Drive document but I would then like to insert a row or a column in a table, and cannot find the functionality to do this from within the Drive or Docs apps. - Is it possible to insert table rows or columns from Drive or Docs apps? - Otherwise, do I need to download the file first, and if so, then what app should I use to do the modification? - Or should I use the Chrome web browser on my device to insert the table rows or columns, and how is this operation carried out? - Or should I just give these three options up, download to my PC, open with MS Word or LibreOffice, then upload back (at the cost of having to sit at my PC's table to do this)? Thanks. --- EDIT: What OS are you running @LieRyan? I don't have the ellipsis which appears in your menu. I ended up using an application called OfficeSuite, which despite being a bit pricy at about 15$ a year, can edit Google Docs apps and manipulate tables contained therein without having to download the document to the device and then upload it again. OK, here is the screenshot from Google Drive on my device. As you can see the ellipses allowing the table to be edited are missing:

This is more of a usability type question. I have a wifi-only tablet. I also have done a lot of documents online using Evernote, Google Drive, etc., and have tried to store them in various places like box.com. Because wifi is not always available, I'm trying to find an effective way to be offline on my tablet, but have things sync up once I have connectivity again. I spend most of my time creating document either in M$ Office, or Google Documents. Evernote works okay, but I'd like something a little more full-featured; it just doesn't quite feel right. I'd like to have quick and easy access to everything on my phone (sorry, can't hotspot), tablet, and desktop, regardless of my internet availability. What solution can handle all of these use cases? Does anything work well for anyone out there?

Okay, so I have a problem. I have a Nexus 7 (rooted, unlocked bootloader, but no other changes to the system). I have a few google documents (native gdoc format, I'm the owner) that I'd like to edit in my spare, off-the-net time. The problem is, when I select 'make available offline' in the application, the document appears in the offline tab, and I can edit it as long as I'm connected to a network. When I disconnect, wham, offline documents are set into read-only mode, I can select text, but I can't do anything else (also, there's that blue-ish bar on the top with ios-like "all docs" button). So, what's going on? I really need to be able to edit some documents when I don't have an internet access.

I want my senior managers to be able to open files on their phones, in either PDF or DOC. The format is not really the problem. But they are not too IT savvy. They just want ot push a button on their phone to open an app and have a library of files there. They don't understand dropbox.... I have 2 apps on my own android phone, both religious, that contain a long list of prayers or books (e.g. the bible). Every now and then each of these is updated automatically with new prayers or hymns or whatever. A similar idea would be a list of recipes, which is updated automatically each time a new recipe is available. Is there a way that would enable my managers to open a library of files, which would update automatically with new files or newer verions of existing files whenever a new file was available? That way they don't have to 'dock' their phones, or ring up to have a file sent to them -- but the files would be automatically 'pushed' from a central site to a selected list of users. Sounds simple to me. Is this possible somehow?

I have tried several Google Docs editors for Android and none of them has fully featured editor functionality. Selecting things like fonts and colors is absent and I have actually tried two editors that completely messed up a document I had initially created using a computer. I read several reviews stating similar things. Does anyone know of a way to edit Google Docs documents using Android?

Background: I've just become to proud new owner of an Asus TF101 honeycomb tablet, which has a nice hardware keyboard attached to it. I do a lot of writing, and cannot find a text editing app which allows me to set text as italic using CTRL + I, or to reliably indent new paragraphs with the tab key*. Does anyone here have any recommendations? (I'm pondering writing my own app to do this at the moment, I'm that desperate). The google docs app doesn't support it (and at any rate doesn't work unless there's an active internet connection). I have tried various free text editing apps, to no avail. I've asked the developers behind Documents to Go if they support this, but no answer yet. Quickoffice have a feature request for it currently open. Unsure about possible Androffice support, but googling suggest unlikely. Many thanks in advance, UPDATE: Documents To Go does not support the CTRL + I shortcut, although italics are supported. G PS - I know android tablets are still in their early days, and it might be a case of waiting. The OpenOffice guys have released an ODT *viewer*, hopefully a potential full openoffice android app might do this. * - the bundled productivity app called Polaris Office supports the tab key for indenting newlines, but not CTRL + I (it requires four screen-touches to turn italics on and off - OK for once in a while, not OK for frequent use)

> **Possible Duplicate:** > [Viewing web pages offline.](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8090/viewing-web-pages-offline) Hi, I just got a new Acer tablet, and was looking forward to reading HTML files in addition to PDF on my tablet during my commute: case in point being the Android documentation which is available in offline form in the doc/ directory in the sdk install. So I copied the doc/ folder from my PC to my tablet, and browsed to it using Astro, but was saddened to find that HTML files on the SD card are not easily accessible by the browser, which brings me to my question: Is there an app (preferably open source), which can provide a basic web server (only localhost, simply serving HTML, JS, CSS and image files) so I can access files by typing URLs such as http://localohost/android-docs/index.html ? I have looked at iJetty, but it seems to be doing too much. I just want to serve files, not do much Java. Thanks in advance. -A
