I see that File Explorer applications can still use that permission. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:. Sorry, something went wrong. Do you think it is needed for SMBSync to have this permission? Well, does it mean that on Android 11 we will not be able to access Downloads folder? However, it seems that it is not enough to browse Downloads folder. It needs more code for MediaStore. I do not want to add it as I am not sure it is how you want to implement it.
It is just very annoying because the Downloads folder is one worth to sync like the media files. You are right, it doesn't work, I tested a few ways. Android 9 API level 28 started to restrict which apps could make the files in their data directories on internal storage world-accessible to other apps.
Apps that target Android 9 or higher cannot make the files in their data directories world-accessible. Android 11 expands upon this restriction. If your app targets Android 11, it cannot access the files in any other app's data directory, even if the other app targets Android 8. On Android 11, apps can no longer access files in any other app's dedicated, app-specific directory within external storage.
To give developers time for testing, the following changes related to the Storage Access Framework SAF take effect only if your app targets Android 11 or higher. The following changes take effect in Android 11, regardless of your app's target SDK version:. The dialog indicates that your app is requesting access to photos and media, as shown in Figure 1. If your app targets Android 11, keep in mind that this access to "all files" is read-only.
To read and write to all files in shared storage using this app, you need to have the all files access permission. Keep in mind that, on devices that run Android 10 API level 29 or higher, your app can contribute to well-defined media collections such as MediaStore.
Downloads without requesting any storage-related permissions. Learn more about how to request only the necessary permissions when working with media files in your app. I am also asking for permission beforehand, as you can see in my code snippet. I also added the stuff to AndroidManifest. Am I missing something crucial here?
I'm really out of my depth on this one. I hope someone can help me. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:. DownloadDir but it always returns Permisson Denied. After digging a bit more into it turns out Android 10 introduce a new storage paradigm called scoped storage.
So far the only workaround that I found is to add. Sorry, something went wrong. Active 10 years ago. Viewed 14k times. I would like to write a Bitmap Object on file. Where is the error? Michel Foucault Michel Foucault 1, 3 3 gold badges 24 24 silver badges 42 42 bronze badges.

If the system determines that your app shouldn't show a rationale, continue to the next step directly, without showing a UI element. If the system determines that your app should show a rationale, however, present the rationale to the user in a UI element.
This rationale should clearly explain what data your app is trying to access, and what benefits the app can provide to the user if they grant the runtime permission. After the user acknowledges the rationale, continue to the next step. Request the runtime permission that your app requires in order to access the private user data.
The system displays a runtime permission prompt, such as the one shown on the permissions overview page. If the user granted the permission to your app, you can access the private user data. If the user denied the permission instead, gracefully degrade your app experience so that it provides functionality to the user, even without the information that's protected by that permission.
To check if the user has already granted your app a particular permission, pass that permission into the ContextCompat. If the ContextCompat. If this method returns true , show an educational UI to the user. In this UI, describe why the feature, which the user wants to enable, needs a particular permission.
Additionally, if your app requests a permission related to location, microphone, or camera, consider explaining why your app needs access to this information. After the user views an educational UI, or the return value of shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale indicates that you don't need to show an educational UI this time, request the permission.
Users see a system permission dialog, where they can choose whether to grant a particular permission to your app. Traditionally, you manage a request code yourself as part of the permission request and include this request code in your permission callback logic. Another option is to use the RequestPermission contract, included in an AndroidX library, where you allow the system to manage the permission request code for you.
Because using the RequestPermission contract simplifies your logic, it's recommended that you use it when possible. To allow the system to manage the request code that's associated with a permissions request, add dependencies on the following libraries in your module's build. The following steps show how to use the RequestPermission contract. The process is nearly the same for the RequestMultiplePermissions contract.
In your activity or fragment's initialization logic, pass in an implementation of ActivityResultCallback into a call to registerForActivityResult. The ActivityResultCallback defines how your app handles the user's response to the permission request. To display the system permissions dialog when necessary, call the launch method on the instance of ActivityResultLauncher that you saved in the previous step.
After launch is called, the system permissions dialog appears. When the user makes a choice, the system asynchronously invokes your implementation of ActivityResultCallback , which you defined in the previous step.
Note: Your app cannot customize the dialog that appears when you call launch. To provide more information or context to the user, change your app's UI so that it's easier for users to understand why a feature in your app needs a particular permission.
For example, you might change the text in the button that enables the feature. Also, the text in the system permission dialog references the permission group associated with the permission that you requested. This permission grouping is designed for system ease-of-use, and your app shouldn't rely on permissions being within or outside of a specific permission group.
And this code snippet demonstrates the recommended process of checking for a permission, and requesting a permission from the user when necessary:. As an alternative to allowing the system to manage the permission request code , you can manage the permission request code yourself. To do so, include the request code in a call to requestPermissions.
After the user responds to the system permissions dialog, the system then invokes your app's implementation of onRequestPermissionsResult. The system passes in the user response to the permission dialog, as well as the request code that you defined, as shown in the following code snippet:. If the user denies a permission request, your app should help users understand the implications of denying the permission.
In particular, your app should make users aware of the features that don't work because of the missing permission. When you do so, keep the following best practices in mind:. Guide the user's attention. Highlight a specific part of your app's UI where there's limited functionality because your app doesn't have the necessary permission.
Several examples of what you could do include the following:. Be specific. Don't display a generic message; instead, mention which features are unavailable because your app doesn't have the necessary permission.
Don't block the user interface. In other words, don't display a full-screen warning message that prevents users from continuing to use your app at all. At the same time, your app should respect the user's decision to deny a permission. Starting in Android 11 API level 30 , if the user taps Deny for a specific permission more than once during your app's lifetime of installation on a device, the user doesn't see the system permissions dialog if your app requests that permission again.
