can't run TextMaker w/o Contacts permission

Post by karensu »

Hi, All.

I've been a fan of TextMaker for about 8 years, but can't yet get a current version to work correctly on my current phone, which is an unlocked Samsung Note20 5G running Android version 12.

The first time I installed TextMaker on this phone, it ran, but it couldn't re-open its own saved files. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled it from Google Play.

Now, it won't run at all without Contacts permissions, despite what the first dialog box says, below. (I don't need it to access Google Drive—I just want it for local use.)

The TextMaker version giving me the following dialogs is version 2021.1102.1117.0.

Here's how my permissions are set:
SmartSelect_20230130-113506_Settings.jpg
Here's the dialog I get when I try to open TextMaker:
SmartSelect_20230130-113537_Office TextMaker.jpg
When I click OK on that dialog, I immediately get the following:
SmartSelect_20230130-113555_Office TextMaker.jpg
Can you help me get this working for local use without Contacts permissions?

Thanks.

Thanks for your post but as the error dialog mentioned you didn't grant permission for file access on your device. Please grant this permission either after reinstalling the app or by permission setting.
