I'm trying to get the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on my Android 10 (API 29) device.
https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/manage-all-files
Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
MainActivity:
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
startActivity(intent);
The result is:
No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION }
Okay, this behaviour is possible. The doc says:
In some cases, a matching Activity may not exist, so ensure you safeguard against this.
But how can I obtain that permission?
Android 10 doesn't require "android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE", android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" under application tag in manifest will work.
For android 11, try this
if (Environment.isExternalStorageManager()) {
//todo when permission is granted
} else {
//request for the permission
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION);
Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package", getPackageName(), null);
intent.setData(uri);
startActivity(intent);
}
