APKMirror Installer: support hidden files/directories in file chooser #283

Closed osm0sis closed 5 months ago

osm0sis commented 5 months ago

Expected behavior

It should see (or have an option to show) hidden directories and files (i.e. Linux convention of a . as the first character of a file/directory name). Android's normal file chooser supports this.

Actual behavior

No hidden files/directories are shown in the app.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Create a file or directory in /sdcard called .TEST and go look in APKMirror Installer, it will not be shown.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to store APK files in hidden directories?

osm0sis commented 5 months ago

I keep all of my non-stock, root, or sideloaded files in /sdcard/.flash/; basically I do it to hide from any apps/games that still try to poke around (e.g. some historically look for Magisk.apk, twrp-.img or a TWRP directory).

The option now exists (thanks!) but isn't tappable, at least not on my Pixel 8 Pro, to be able to enable the new Show hidden items. 😯

archon810 commented 5 months ago

Hmm, it was working, but you're right, it broke between then and release. 😔

archon810 commented 5 months ago

This is fixed in 1.7.1, rolling out shortly once Google approves it.

Thank Artem!
