📁 Another Android Explorer ( File Manager ) is an All-in-One Open source file manager. AnExplorer File Manager (File Explorer) is designed for all android devices including Phones, Phablets, Tablets, Chromecast, Wear OS, Android TV and Chromebooks. It's a fully designed with Material guidelines by Google.

anexplorer's Issues

Remount filesystem as rw when permission for write access fails

The ROM for my device doesn't have a DocumentsProvider implementation so I'm trying to use your app, by moving it to /system/priv-app.

I can finally "grant" write access to other apps with AnExplorer but even so the operation itself fails because of "access was not granted" by the system, since there is no other DocumentsProvider implementation.

However, if the app is installed as a system app, it doesn't need to have a permission from the system to perform the action, afaik. It could remount the filesystem as rw and perform the action directly.

A check could be done in this line

can't open files with MXPlayer via FTP connection

it shows error message.

Audio category opens music files in their albums and it can be sharing but no app supports the type of document.

The audio category view music files in their albums which can be shared but seems not to be compatible with any software.
Sharing the file to phone saver and Amaze File Manager caused those apps to crash.

Unable to Compress Folders

Hello! Am unable to Compress folders

There are three serious mistakes.

When importing these errors appear:

WebDAV support

STORAGE:

How to get all internal & external storage path.. Please help me..

Why the delay?

I have noticed that this project isn't updated regularly, don't you think some new features should be added, anexplorer is too good to be abandoned like this. My suggestion is to add an inbuilt IMAGE VIEWER, AUDIO and VIDEO PLAYER and one more important feature that's missing is ENCRYPTION, I guess with that, we should really standout different from the rest of other file managers, I also think we need Anexplorer to popup as an option when a user clicks on a ZIP or RAR file from a different application on his/her (I think making an intent or something for this should do the work just fine). What do you think? @1hakr

License Key & Amazon API key

Where are these placed?

StorageVolume does not contain info about external storages in API 23.

As you can see it is impossible to read/write to USB OTG flash drive on Nexus 5 (Marshmallow 6.0.1). The reason in class android.os.storage.StorageVolume. It does not contain info which you need starting from API 23. Nevertheless, ES Explorer can do that somehow.

Can't edit

can't delete media dir, can't movefrom media dir to media dir

Import issues

Error:Unable to find method 'org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.DependencyHandler.registerTransform(Ljava/lang/Class;Lorg/gradle/api/Action;)V'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:

• Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)

[Question] Maybe Bug...

Hi, @1hakr ,
When I copy or move or delete files from PC to phone through USB, while the AnExplorer app is running, sometimes it will not correct, like

• Not showing all files after operation
• The files which already not exist still on the list
• The count of sub-file of directory is not correct

I'm also an Android Explorer developer, I find you use the class FileObserver to monitor the file system, maybe you can do a debounce or throttle operation of refresh UI.
BTW: I think FileObserver will cause performance problem(as memory etc.) with thousands folders, so I monitor MediaStore instead, but also some problem will occur... (So maybe an unuseful suggestion)

((Sorry for my poor english...

[Bug] Display error

1. Click into "Internal Storage"
2. Click icon of some item for entering multi choice mode
3. Click floating actions menu to create a folder (Then it will auto open into the new directory)
4. Back, and you can see this little bug of action mode title

Strings

I want translate strings for persian language but i cant find any things for translate please complate strings thanks.

Storage and RAM usage bars don't always show up

Hi, thanks for writing this beautiful file manager and for adding it to F-Droid.

I'm using v3.8 from F-Droid on a Nokia 6.1, Android 8.1. I've noticed a bug - sometimes, the storage and RAM usage bars don't show up. Launching the app again usually fixes it.

[Enhancement] change listviews and gridviews to recyclerviews

Hi, I know it will be kinda hard to change the code but it would be much more practical to change all listviews and gridviews to one simple recyclerview.

Thanks :)

Root won't load

I've given the app root permission, but when I tap to access the root folder, it gets stuck on the loading animation and it never loads.

Why does the app connect to Amazon/Youtube?

F-Droid build gradle=other,pro 3.8

Steps:

1. Start the app

Results:

And the Github APK (installed via @IzzySoft F-Droid repo) connects to accounts.youtube.com:443 instead

Hi, is this branch @cloud in development ?Just asking because last commit was in June

Thanks for the reply :)

Share option upon selecting all files does not work.

Expected behavior

When you select all files and and then click share all files, you can easily share them through desired applications.

Actual behavior

When I opened anexplorer and selected all files to share, somehow it didn't work and I was not able to share my files and the screen went back to normal as I had never selected any file.

How to reproduce

• Long press on a file and then select all of them.
• From the menu, click share and your screen will be like as it was when you had not selected any file.

• Operating system:
  Android 6.0.1

Would you consider publishing the .apk file on Github – for those not using Google Play?

[Request] Add to F-Droid store

You can add your app to F-Droid repository, it would let some people not wanting google on their phones use it ;)

Eg. Today I was looking for great file manager in F-Droid, and only one good enough was Amaze.
Your's better.

Slow open a directory with 1000 files

I create a directory with 1000 files (small files of .txt)
But when i open it, it's take like 10 seconds to open it
i'm a new in Android developping, and I do not understand why.
If someone can help me.

Thanks you.

OTG drops out / disconnects if 2 Partitions on USB - URGENT!!

This problem exists in AnExplorer but not Amaze Explorer, however AnExplorer is required due to its other capabilities.

If an OTG / external USB drive thas just one partition it seems to function Ok. It attaches and stays attached when accessing it.
However if an external USB has Two partitions AnExplorer disconnects from it. Thus that device cannot be used. This is an issue as we are unable to use this product for our many users/staff as the USB required for the project has two partitions.

As mentioned Amaze does not kick the external USB drive however AnExplorer does.

Would appreciate a fix on this please.

Missing Keystore.properties

Copyright violation

Hi @1hakr

I found this app on the Google Play Store. This guy just took your source code, added his own ads in it and put it on the Store, without warning this is free software...

As you are the owner of the source code, feel free to open a request to google here to remove the false app from the Store, if it's your wish ;)

Don't forget to tell Google that:

• The app is licensed under Apache license and this guy is violating it;
• He is falsely claiming he made the app;
• Provide a link to this repo and to your own app;
• Provide some screenshots of your app.

copy file too slow

Hi, I've tried it, it's wonderful, but there are some problems. I found that when I copied file from one usb device to another, the copied speed was too slow, can you fix it?

Theme Question

So is there a way to make this to were users could create separate apps that are themes that this app could pick up and apply?
