the folder in storage/emulated/0/android/data/(appname)
i want storage/emulated/0
Since targetSdkVersion = 30 (AI2 nb 188) it is no longer possible to create folders in the root directory or in an arbitrary folder of the external storage on Android 11+ devices. This is only possible there if MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has been requested and granted. However, this special permission is usually not allowed by Google.

I don't want to take the risk
Now how do I save camera capture to ASD
Unless you're planning on publishing your app on the Google Play Store, it should be fine to use it.

What does "app folder" mean?
I don't know why you want to save it in /storage/emulated/0. The best way is to save it in the ASD (application specific directory) with the normal File component and the Scope set to App.

for users if it is stored in ASD it is difficult to find it
Then I would say to use Anke's method. Users can access that through a File Management application.

Google Play restricts the access of Manage All Files permission. You can use these unless you are not publishing your app on Google Play.

These blocks are never executed because the "if" query always returns "false".

By the way, this block creates a folder in the Private directory (internal storage) which you can access on your device only when it is rooted. (You must put a / at the beginning of the folder name or you must use FileScope = Shared)
