Android Question PROBLEMS WITH EXTERNAL MEMORY MANAGEMENT

The example you can follow to read and write a file on external memory (in addition to the ones you have already seen) is this:

Although I believe you've seen it before. I think I understand that you don't want to access a single file but a folder. You can select a single file or a folder, through in ContentChooser.

If I wanted to access a folder containing images in external memory, I would use the system's internal gallery app. Obviously those images should be contained in the gallery.
I don't know if there is a better system, maybe Erel can suggest something better


Finally to have access to the entire memory you have to happen through the file manager as in the photo. Because it has system permissions to access each folder.
If the fileManager does not appear immediately among the options, you will usually find in the menu the possibility to access further folders / further choices



PS. What version of Android does the device you use have installed?

Thank you very much I will try and I will let you know, just a question why the folders of 'AnyDesk' are selectable and my folder not, which folder property must be enabled to make it visible in the list on the side.

Search for "force mediascanner"

Click to expand...

All resources are listed, so there are freely accessible memory areas and folders, and all other resources, including apps that are registered as resources. (Google Photo, Google Drive, etc ..)

But follow Kmatle's advice, you can force the search for images

Every time I discover something new, I didn't know this 'mediascanner' thing, I'll try and let you know
