Alternatively I found this for Android:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35799567/activity-not-found-using-codename-one-native-code-for-android/35809854#35809854
public String getDownloadPath() {
return
Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).getAbsolutePath()
+ File.separator + "myfolder";}
How do I programmatically access (for read & write) the downloads directory?
