I think i realized the issue here, the storage permission prompt is not running so the app doesn't have permissions to view any other directory than its data dir. not sure if this is designed for an older version or what but if you use a system perm request that should fix it i would think.

After more digging i found the issue is acouple things.

  1. May need the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission
  2. The current getFilePath function is getting the cached path within the /data directory so it saves there instead of where the file actually is
  3. the filer picker function, does not seem to return a valid file URL (at least in the logs) not sure whats needed there though.

EDIT: dug deeper it appears the only real issue here is #2.
