Error when building on Android device

[Mason Merrell]

Hello, I'm working with DOCIO and when I build and save the file in IOS with this method it works perfectly:

                //Save the stream as a file in the device and invoke it for viewing
                await Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.Get<ISave>().SaveAndView(documentName + ".docx", "application/msword", stream);

However when I try to save the document in android the app crashes and I get this error:

Java.IO.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Syncfusion/x.docx (No such file or directory)

Hello,

Thank you for your support on this matter. The storage permissions were the problem with saving the file to the device. However, the file viewer doesn't invoke like it does for IOS I only get this warning: "Warning CS0618: 'Forms.Context' is obsolete: 'Context is obsolete as of version 2.5. Please use a local context instead.' (CS0618)." Would this be the reason the viewer doesn't appear and is there anything I can do to resolve this? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mason,

Thank you for your update.

We have tried to reproduce the reported problem (file viewer doesn't invoke) by deploying the sample application (from KB documentation) in Android device, but it opens the Word document properly at our end. We suspect that the problem might be due to the device or Android version specific. So, could you please share us the details about Android version of the device which tried at your end. Thereby, we will try to reproduce the problem and will update you the solution at the earliest.
