I am writing an app that needs to allow users to read and write text files. I am confused with all the information regarding file access, permissons and Android version 30. So can someone detail how I can achieve the following -
1. I would like to offer my App through the Google Play store.
2. Users need to load data to the App via text files and store results by reading text files. In order to achieve this they will need a way of accessing their files presumably by using a file manager app.
3. If I access files using the File.DirInternal, files are not available using a file manager. GetSafeDirDefaultExternal does what I need but will store files on an external drive if one is fitted. Would this mean that the location where my App stores data would change if the user added an SD card?
Have I misunderstood something or is there some functionality that I have missed? Are Google not allowing Apps with functionality like mine in the Play Store?
