Scoped storage doesn't work #155

Open m3thm4th opened 1 year ago

m3thm4th commented 1 year ago

On LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) it's impossible to download any dictionary, the Download Manager and the app have Internet access, but the download just won't start, it doesn't matter if the default folder is selected or a custom one, storage permission is given, but the download never starts and doesn't appear at all in the notifications drawer.

Sorry for the late reply, is this still happening? How do you know it is related to scoped storage? A frequent issue is that the Android DownloadManger is missing, not working, disabled or has other issues.

Still happening, no other app has this issue, I have to download the dictionary from the browser and move it to the correct folder to make it work. Do you confirm this is not an issue on a fresh install of LineageOS 19 (or other Android 12 ROM)?

Very few other apps use the Android system DownloadManager because it is broken so much. I don't have any phones compatible with current custom ROMs, but it works fine with the emulator images in Android Studio, as well as on Samsung and Fairphone phones with Android 13. So I don't really have a way to reproduce and figure out what is going wrong here.
