Android Question requestLegacyExternalStorage - Warning Google 5may

[scsjc]

I have received a message in the GooglePlay console warning me that they have detected the application with the requestLegacyExternalStorage in the manifest file.

I currently have the manifest in android: targetSdkVersion=29 with the SetApplicationAttribute (android: requestLegacyExternalStorage, true)
I use it so that my application can load documents externally (photos, pdf etc).

Google indicates that I must fix it before May 5 or they request to withdraw application.
It also indicates that if I need to use this permission I have to send a form requesting it.

i read the : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-jar-targetsdkversion-minsdkversion.87610/#content
I think the most correct solution is to remove: SetApplicationAttribute (android: requestLegacyExternalStorage, true) and use RuntimePermissions.GetSafeDirDefaultExternal ... for devices before 30 it will work as if I activate this solution: SetApplicationAttribute (android: requestLegacyExternalStorage, true) ???

I have searched the forum and I am not very clear what I should do.
I do not know if it affects me having the targetSdkVersion=29 or I should change something.

This means that you can no longer directly access File.DirRootExternal.

this method is required only to save? or load too?

It explains the usage of ContentChooser and ExternalStorage. You can use them to select resources.
