List Documents folder with android 11

[Taifun]

you modified the manifest and added "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" manually.. .
which results in your app not being accepted by Google Play anymore...
you should mention that next time in your first post...

did you use the AskForPermission method together with MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE?
also you might want to try one of the file extensions to get a list of the files of that directory...

@patel

I tried but permission denied

Try this app on your Android 11+ (test) devices:

manageExtStorage.apk

I didn't have to manually add this line to the Manifest as I created a small extension that automatically declared it there.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

How to request and grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

In this guide I show you, how to request and grant → MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on devices with Android 11+. Be aware that this permission is usually not granted by Google.

This permission must be declared in the Manifest (since it is not declared the Companion app you can't test this with Companion): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> Here is a s…

You added NOT to tinydb getvalue

The guide / tutorial is about "How to request and grant MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission" and it is not about not making this request every time the app is restarted. So if this permission is granted once, the app will have unrestricted access to all files, even if the app is restarted.

So once this permission has been granted there is no need to re-submit this request.
