Android-FilePicker Android11

Android11

Hi, so in Android 11 and above this library won't work? And what do we have to use to make it work? Or do you have any recommendation (library or something) to use also in Android 11?

Limitation of Android filepicker has only to do with filepicker part of feature. Images and video picker will work as it is working currently.

It will not work when your targetsdkversion will become 30 (Android 11). It will work as long as your target sdk is 29 and you have added set the value of requestLegacyExternalStorage to true in your app's manifest file.

Google has put restrictions on Android 11 as you need to opt for scoped storage now i.e. you can only access data to your app specific directory or query for media such as images and videos only. More info here: https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/manage-all-files#all-files-access-google-play

Only way to use default intent picker in the OS itself (https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/documents-files)

I have still not decided what to do with filepicker, when we have to update targetsdk to 30. But I am open to any ideas: Suggestion: It will open generic default system file picker when calling filepicker

I am developing a sample app using a good library.

In ver 2.2.4, it worked successfully in SDK29. I heard that SDK30 failed in ver 2.2.5. However, in ver 2.2.5, SDK29 also had an issue of failure.

Hello, It's been long since this issue has remained open. You should use the default picker for doc till you find a good option. Thanks!

Check storage Permissions, In Android 11 storage permission changed add MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in Manifest

in code check permission of manage storage it will work

Google will only accept your app if it falls in File Management category otherwise MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is of no use.

I found solution for this problem: Step 1: modify AndroidManifest.xml

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        tools:ignore="ScopedStorage"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        tools:ignore="ScopedStorage"/>
    <application
        android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:supportsRtl="true">

Step 2: modify droidninja.filepicker.FilePickerBuilder.java replace two functions

private void start(Activity context, int requestCode) private void start(Fragment fragment, int requestCode)

private void start(Activity context, int requestCode) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, FilePickerConst.PERMISSIONS_FILE_PICKER)
                    != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                Toast.makeText(context,
                        context.getResources().getString(R.string.permission_filepicker_rationale),
                        Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                return;
            }

            //Permission need when you select file
            if(requestCode == FilePickerConst.REQUEST_CODE_DOC) {
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.R || Environment.isExternalStorageManager()) {
                    //Toast.makeText(this, "We can access all files on external storage now", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                } else {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);

                    return;
                }
            }
        }

        PickerManager.getInstance()
                .setProviderAuthorities(
                        context.getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + ".droidninja.filepicker.provider");

        Intent intent = new Intent(context, FilePickerActivity.class);
        intent.putExtras(mPickerOptionsBundle);

        context.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
    }

 private void start(Fragment fragment, int requestCode) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
            if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(fragment.getContext(),
                    FilePickerConst.PERMISSIONS_FILE_PICKER) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

                return;
            }

            //Permission need when you select file
            if(requestCode == FilePickerConst.REQUEST_CODE_DOC) {
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.R || Environment.isExternalStorageManager()) {

                } else {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
                    fragment.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
                    return;
                }
            }
        }

        PickerManager.getInstance()
                .setProviderAuthorities(fragment.getContext().getApplicationContext().getPackageName()
                        + ".droidninja.filepicker.provider");

        Intent intent = new Intent(fragment.getActivity(), FilePickerActivity.class);
        intent.putExtras(mPickerOptionsBundle);

        fragment.startActivityForResult(intent, requestCode);
    }

Step 3: run your application Thank you for your library, it is very useful for community !!! Mr. Phuong

@vsoft-phuong https://github.com/DroidNinja/Android-FilePicker/issues/305#issuecomment-814671111 I am trying to implement this solution, Would you kindly explain about the PickerManager.getInstance() method. As of now there is no such method in the library. What is the use of this method? I could add this method manually in my code, but what should be the implementation of the .setProviderAuthorities() method inside the PickerManager. Could you help me with this.

Apr 08 '21 08:04 Prashantjagwani

@vsoft-phuong PickerManager.getInstance() .setProviderAuthorities(fragment.getContext().getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + ".droidninja.filepicker.provider");

where is getInstance where to add setProviderAuthorities method

Can you help me in this plz ??

Hello,

If we enable this permission (PACKAGE_NAME MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) then app gets rejected on play store so is there any solution for this?

Thanks!

Yes, I download the source code & update very simple in that and it works well. Here is my update: I updated the function dispatchTakePictureIntent like this public Intent dispatchTakePictureIntent(Context context) throws IOException { Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE); // Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 29) { File newFile = createImageFile(); takePictureIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); takePictureIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION); Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, PickerManager.getInstance().getProviderAuthorities(), newFile); takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI); return takePictureIntent; } else { if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(mContext.getPackageManager()) != null) { // Create the File where the photo should go if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) { File newFile = createImageFile(); takePictureIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION); takePictureIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION); Uri photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, PickerManager.getInstance().getProviderAuthorities(), newFile); takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI); } else { takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(createImageFile())); } return takePictureIntent; } } return null; }

Then build lib to .arr file

but This possible for only media files but what about non media files like pdfs and text what i should do to access the non media files from internal storage

You need to use MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission for version 11 or later.

Add in Manifest: " <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="28" /> "

Please follow below code:

private String[] permissions = new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}; private String[] cameraPermissions = new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA};

Hi,

I want access of non media files only in Android Version 11 like pdf , doc, txt etc. Is there any solution found for this without using MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission where targetSdkVersion is 30.

Can anyone help me out with this?
