acces files on smartphone via usb?

[Dana]

I'm working on a script intended to work with files stored on my [android 5.1] smartphone.  Problem is, I can't get a valid path.  If I plug in the phone, Windows sees it, I can view and manipulate files, and Explorer says the path is, for example, Computer\XT1254\Internal storage\Music.  However, if I try to access it with AutoIT, e.g.:

$path = FileSelectFolder("Select folder for music files", "")
If @error Then Exit
ConsoleWrite($path & @crlf)
$filelist = _FileListToArrayRec($path, "*.mp3;*.wma", $FLTAR_FILES, $FLTAR_RECUR, $FLTAR_NOSORT, $FLTAR_FULLPATH)

I get

::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\\\?\usb#vid_22b8&pid_2ea4#zx1f42cdvh#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\SID-{10001,,56161665024}\{00000001-0001-0001-0000-000000000000}

for $path (the first ConsoleWrite), and _FileListToArrayRec returns extended error 1 (Path not found or invalid).

Is there any way to access files on such a device?  There doesn't seem any to get Windows to assign a drive letter to it like it did with my old phones.  There do seem to be some ways to do it involving setting up the android device as a server but I was hoping for a simpler solution using USB.

The path for it is:

::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\\\?\usb#vid_22b8&pid_2ea4#zx1f42cdvh#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\

You can paste that in any window, and it will put you on the smartphone dir.

As for the function to work, idk, maybe it doesn't assume a path like that.

Well, Windows may accept that, but _FileListToArrayRec does not.

Explore the the registry, there must be a way how Explorer knows  how Computer\XT1254\Internal storage\Music <==> ::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\\\?\usb#vid_22b8&pid_2ea4#zx1f42cdvh#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\SID-{10001,,56161665024}\{00000001-0001-0001-0000-000000000000} correspending.

Dana,

Try using this as the path in _FileToArrayRec:

\\?\usb#vid_22b8&pid_2ea4#zx1f42cdvh#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}\

I looked in the registry, XT1254 shows up numerous places, and at least one of them has part of the string returned by FileSelectFolder:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\KnownDevices\WpdDeviceHandler_USB#VID_22B8&PID_2EA4#ZX1F42CDVH]
"Label"="XT1254"
"Icon"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\
  00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,77,00,\
  70,00,64,00,73,00,68,00,65,00,78,00,74,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,2d,\
  00,37,00,30,00,34,00,00,00

More interesting was this one:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Portable Devices\Devices\USB#VID_22B8&PID_2EA4#ZX1F42CDVH]
"FriendlyName"="XT1254"

I changed FriendlyName to "Z:\", and now typing Z: in windows explorer takes me to the device... but _FileListToArrayRec still doesn't like it.

 

M23, I tried that, along with other combinations and subsets, no joy anywhere.

Have you tried the Android UDF?  I haven't used it, but it may help you.
