Android Question Is it possible... to create File Explorer at Android latest versions ?

[Magma]

Hi there....

Is it possible... to create File Explorer at Android latest versions ? (targeting SDK 31)

can i view all folders and files (i know the commands - i mean because of changes) ?

what permissions i will need ?

Is it possible to have a file-explorer at the google play nowdays ?

Thanks in advance

This is how File Explorers in the Play Store do it.

See the Manage all files on a storage device link in the first post

Manage External Storage - access internal external storage >= SDK 30

Google seems intent on dumbing down Android to the point of uselessnes to me. I think of my devices as little computers and I want a proper file system on them, not the limited tortuous things that Google offers and that I don't understand, ContentChooser, FileProvider, ... o_O I'm getting old...

This is how they access Android/data and Android/obb

£50 for the first working solution. SDK30 Android/data read/write

No! As I said above. Sorry your being very cryptic! LOL (I can see this is also a security issue, so maybe that is part of the cryptic messages) I will play more with your original manage-external-storage-access-internal-external-storage-sdk-30 and see how i get on... I hear what your saying...
