Enable Write Permissions To External Storage in Flex Mobile Application

Filed in: Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Flex Mobile Add comments

When we create "Flex Mobile Project" in Flash builder burrito, by default flex mobile application does not provide write permission to "External Storage".  Flash builder burrito does not show any runtime error, when we test this application in desktop based "Mobile Simulator". After installing the "APK" (generated APK file from Flash builder) in the mobile device, we did not receive the error. But when i debug the application, am able to identify the error id "3001". The error description showed below

From this i am able to identify the issue. But since flex sdk version is in beta, i did not get the proper information. Finally checked the app-descriptor.xml, there i found couple of xml entries which are added in the latest version of the Adobe AIR 2.5.

By default these information is commented in the application descriptor file. Once you uncomment the android information as below, you will enable the permission to grant the write access to the "External Storage Location" like memory card.
