Better use of Permissions MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE #5

Closed atinagrawal closed 3 years ago

Starting Android 11, Google discourages the use of MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, where explicitly not required. As this app only needs photos and videos, this should be possible by MediaStore.

How you access WhatsApp/media/.Statuses

or

Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses

by using mediastore??

GauthamAsir commented 3 years ago

No, currently not using Mediastore. You are can modify it accordingly.

.Statuses folder is changed for Android 11??🤔 Android/media/com.whatsapp/WhatsApp/Media/.Statuses

I run the WhatsApp in Android 11 but .Statuses folder path is storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/media/.Statuses

Currently WhatsApp targetSdk version is 29 but Is it really in Android/media after targetSdk 30??

I tried the generated apk in this repo, it's not working, stuck in splashscreen (samsung note 10 android 11) and actually permission manage_external_storage is for file manager application

Edited: works if allow access all files, i think that not the solution for android 11. Have a better idea for select or query the hidden directory ".Statuses" using MediaStore or others?
