Android 13 Import

[mroles29]

Using Android 13 TQ3A.230705.001.A1 (Pixel 6xl)

I'm not Android developer, so I hope I can describe this correctly. When attempting to import a calibration file, I am given the error to install a file manager.

Seems to be an issue with the ACTION_GET_CONTENT. There are no app permissions requested or available, as seems to be the case for Android 13 now.

As an example, https://github.com/OpenTracksApp also has an import feature, but it uses ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE. That correctly opens the "file manager" and for me to select a file.

Sadly, I do not have the depth to know why one works and the other does not... I suppose it is possible that my phone is bugged as well. Hopefully, there is something useful here for you to fix. Thanks

on my Android13 device I have no problem loading a calibration file File manager opens, I select a file and the calibration line is shown in the plot...

maybe install another file manager app

Google phones have newer builds and no 3rd party file managers. Is your device the same? Not sure if Samsung still uses their own file managers.

I gave removing my 3rd party app manager a shot. Did nothing. I believe Android 13 doesn't pass to an outside app manager anyway. It uses Files by Google, which is a system app. So I can't remove that anyway.

I'll try to find another app that uses the get content intent to see if there is something messy with my app permissions, but I already removed and erased cache etc for anything related. I may just be bored enough to do a device reset tomorrow.

Either way, if its Google's problem its not yours... I just wondered if there was something specific about your implementation. Thanks for your response.

and according to development guidelines it is still tge correct way to use ACTION_GET_CONTENT

Use ACTION_GET_CONTENT if you want your app to read or import data. With this approach, the app imports a copy of the 
data, such as an image file.

A little digging and I found another bug report from a totally different app and a different usage. Seems related to intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null not working specifically on Pixel devices.

See https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker/issues/1587

Your call on if you want to cater to the specific device and its issues.

I hate myself for doing this at 2 am. I found that adding a query to the app manifest fixes my issue. `

</queries>

` However, now I realized that I can't record a file either. That appears to be due to the depreciation of the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in SDK 33.
