Need help with creating a Jigsaw Puzzle / READ_MEDIA_IMAGES → Companion App

[Anke]

By the way, you can get full access to all media files without SAF and storage permissions on Android 11+:

Pick an image, view it, copy it and get full access to it without SAF and/or storage permissions on Android 11+

Pick an image via ActivityStarter and display it with Picasso (without READ permission) on all Android versions. On Android 11+, the image can then be copied to the Shared folder /Pictures using its contentUri, granting full access to it via the app. The new (copied) image can then be edited/compressed as desired, without (storage) permissions. On Android < 11, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is of course required for this. Access must then be done via the real path (i.e., not via contentUri)…

Then JavaScript should be obsolete.
