In Android 10 or higher, I used MediaStore to save files in Downloads, shared storage. The code I used to save the file is as follows:
GlobalScope.launch {
val values = ContentValues().apply {
put(MediaStore.Downloads.DISPLAY_NAME, "file.txt")
put(MediaStore.Downloads.MIME_TYPE, "text/plain")
put(MediaStore.Downloads.IS_PENDING, 1)
put(MediaStore.Downloads.RELATIVE_PATH,Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS+ File.separator+"MyApp/SubDir")
}
val collection = MediaStore.Downloads.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL_PRIMARY)
val item = contentResolver.insert(collection, values)!!
contentResolver.openFileDescriptor(item, "w", null).use {
FileOutputStream(it!!.fileDescriptor).use { outputStream ->
outputStream.write("test file".toByteArray())
outputStream.close()
}
}
values.clear()
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.IS_PENDING, 0)
contentResolver.update(item, values, null, null)
Now my file is save in Downloads/myApp/subDir/file.txt
If so, how can I read this file if I don't know the Uri of this file but know the RELATIVE_PATH used to save it?
