[Feature Request] Add Date to fileData #146

Closed bluekuen closed 4 years ago

bluekuen commented 5 years ago

It's hard on Android to get the File DateTime. I tried it with the string i get from google drive for example:

content://com.google.android.apps.docs.storage/document/acc%3D2%3Bdoc%3Dencoded%3DrighArrVG%2FbmPu3iP%2B8eAMUtEMOy%2BWopwMSW4Cu9GaGkVt1u6NpYWJXo7fNxKF%2BZNQ%3D%3D

I didn't find a way to get the correct Date from this FilePath and didn't find a way to do so.

It would be great if you could add the DateTime as seperate property of the FileData.

Kind Regards, bluekuen

Do you have code to do this on Android? We could surely include this code in the FilePicker if you provide it. Thanks!

No sadly not, i was looking for a way to do it and opened another issue relevant to this but didn't get an useful answer. That's why i thought you maybe are more into it.

I think under Android the only chance with content:// URLs would be to query the content provider for a date column, but I have no experience with that approach.

Closing this since this project will retire, please check out Xamarin.Essentials which now has a FilePicker based on this one.
