Can you replicate the issue?

[arpitweetech]

Here is my mobiles Download Directory and when I open the File manager of my Device it shows me all files like all pdf, txt, and all files but when I used this package and open this file manager example app in the list I got only images not all other files.

Is it possible you also send the code snippet?

I have tried to get files for Android 11 and 12 but because of scoped storage it doesn't even work, how did you go around it?

Hi @4-alok May I request you to please look into this issue if possible? I will also try to figure out what could be the reason

I am also facing the same issue. The folder contains images, video, and pdf although it doesn't list the pdf file for some reason.

[hardikm9850]

I made it work by granting files access permission manually i.e from App settings.

If we want to request programmatically then display a dialog conveying why permission is required and upon permission granted, invoke the following code ...

val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION) intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT") intent.data = Uri.parse("package:$packageName") startActivityForResult(intent, MANAGE_STORAGE_RC)

Edit: You need to put the above code in the Flutter method channel and invoke it from the Flutter code

@hardikm9850 I would appreciate it if you could include this in the documentation of file_manager

[hardikm9850]

Apologies for noticing your comment so late.

I see that you have already updated both the documentation and the example.
