Android Question [Solved] Error using intent to share file in Google Drive (Android 13)

[asales]

I'm testing this code to share a file directly in Google Drive.

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "1.pdf", Starter.Provider.SharedFolder, "1.pdf")

Dim sendIntent As Intent
sendIntent.Initialize(sendIntent.ACTION_SEND,"")
sendIntent.SetComponent("com.google.android.apps.docs/.common.shareitem.UploadMenuActivity")
sendIntent.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", Starter.Provider.GetFileUri("1.pdf"))
StartActivity(sendIntent)

It works fine in Android 10, but in Android 13 I get this error message:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.google.android.apps.docs/com.google.android.apps.docs.common.shareitem.UploadMenuActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml, or does your intent not match its declared <intent-filter>?

Do I need declare something in manifest in Android 13 to use the intent?

Google Drive is up to date in both devices and I can see the component string with QueryIntentActivities.

How can I fix it in Android 13?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes. You need to declare any other apps you want to interact with. See this thread and especially post #7 and see if that solves your problem

[SOLVED] Alternative to check if WhatsApp is installed without using PackageManager - QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES on + SDK30

Until now I used PackageManager to check which applications were installed (for example WhatsApp) Currently google requires QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES in Manifest in order to have a list of Installed Packages. Is it possible to know if WhatsApp is installed, via tried through some kind of Try-Catch...

I have this permission in manifest:

AddPermission(android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES)

and this query too:

<package android:name="com.google.android.apps.docs" />

but works only in Android 10.
In Android 13 I get the error.
Edit: I'm still testing. I can't use the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES because the app is in Play Store.

Here an example to demonstrated the problem.
Need to be use in Android 13+.

In Android 10 I see this screen when I click in the button, in Android 13 I get the error.

Your example works for me! Pixel 4a Android 13

Very strange.
I tested in 2 different devices with Android 13 and get the same error.
Thanks.

The project works in release mode with no change in Redmi 12 5G with Android Version 13 TKQ1.221114.001

Thanks both!
Anyone with a Samsung device with Android 13 to test the code?
The devices which I tested the code - and got the error - was a Samsung A71 and M32.

Just to close this topic.
After a software update in the Galaxy A71, released by Samsung last week, the problem was solved.
