Problem with TDirectory.GetDirectories(TPath.GetSharedPicturesPath, '*') in Android 10

[at3s 4]

Actually problem becomes in Android 10, in Android 6 I have so fine.

I just have developed a form which shows folders and files in

TPath.GetSharedPicturesPath

directory.

I have ask to grant READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission for application, it is properly granted, checked in system.

But 

TDirectory.GetDirectories(TPath.GetSharedPicturesPath, '*')

returns an empty list of folders as well as 

TDirectory.GetFiles(TPath.GetSharedPicturesPath)

returns an empty list of files in Android 10.

Even I get a level up folder.

Any idea?

option "Secure File Sharing"

Yes, it's checked. TDirectory.GetDirectories anyway returns an empty list for /storage/emulated/0/

/0 would be a "root" on mobile devices

you cannot access it

you need a folder access, like "Downloads", "Pictures", etc

 

now if you are using RAD10.4.x can be one of many bugs from this edition!

It makes sense. But TPath.GetSharedPicturesPath returns /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/ 

I need to be able to show pictures from device in my form.

Based on topic "Runtime permissions in Android (new in Delphi 10.3)", do you think I have to grant ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permissions as well?

Otherwise I do not see any differnces I already define in an application.

Here is solution:

[RSP-30935] Android 10 delphi 10.4 camera and gallery doesn't work - Embarcadero Technologies

 

When I added android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" into 'AndroidManifest.template.xml', application started to be working so fine in Android 10.

Now I'm interesting what shall be in Android 11...

for that always detail your programming setup!

 

then, the answer can go quickly.

I'm agree with you. But I have not any special in my project setup settings. Any newly created FMX project shall have mostly the same AndroidManifest.template.xml file. So the topic's issue shall be there as well.

I solved this kind of problem by removing ARM fichier de map in linker configuration, in Options/Construction/Compiler/Linker (see attached picture).

I have the same problem, but now with Android 12. I give the permissions, I can save in TPath.GetSharedPicturesPath but I can't read them.
