My applications has to store some gps coordinates in plain txt file.
Those files must be easily accessible by user so I was thinking about
Documents folder. Unfortunately  TEnvDirectory for function
GetEnvironmentDirectoryPath does not have dirDocuments or
dirSharedDocuments! I could always use hardcoded path like
/storage/emulated/0/Documents/ but that might not be the best idea for
future.
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
TEnvDirectory = (dirDownloads,                    dirDCIM,           
       dirMusic,                    dirPictures,                   
dirNotifications,                    dirMovies,                   
dirPodcasts,                    dirRingtones,                   
dirSdCard,                    dirInternalAppStorage,                 
 dirDatabase,                    dirSharedPrefs,                   
dirCache);

Yes, Unfortunately the android "Documents" folder need API > 19 ....

but, as side note, there is an increasing android restriction for your
application to actually have access to these "public" folders....

What about "jPreference" component  (Extra Tab)?
