Thank you “imaginativeCODE”, this was a very useful information for me. I was unaware of the fact that in android mode absolute paths for data files are not allowed and I have to admit that I still do not really understand the philosophy behind. However, Thanks to you I now know how to create an androide app using input and output files. I presume, saveStrings follows the same way?
