Is it possible to have a normal text editor on Android
so that I can open any text file from anywhere in that Android text editor?
On early Android versions there were no such problems. Then it
was changed so that, as a default, every app (package) can only
control its "own files". But an app that is aware of this new
regulation may ask the user to grant additional permissions to
access files in more directories IIRC. If you can't find such
an editor, a quick fix might be to store all text files into the
"directory of the editor" if possible. As another example, I wanted
to view an HTML file with a browser, turned out, I had to copy
that file into the "downloads" directory of that browser IIRC!
It seems they want isolated apps, island apps. Users should never
learn or forget that cross-app files exist.
I'd love to buy devices with Android 2.2, but it seems one
cannot buy new devices with Android 2.2 anymore. I even managed
to buy a device that says "2.2" on the box, but then had 2.4
installed. And things have gone even more astray since then ...
