How to move files to phone storage

[alpha0010]

@SaeedZhiany Sorry, I tend to miss comments on closed issues.

By default, this library uses internal storage. Prefix your path with one of the Dirs.* constants (with the exception of Dirs.SDCardDir).

To send data to external storage, you can use FileSystem.cpExternal() and to get from external storage use a content:// uri (as produced by, for example, react-native-document-picker) as the source parameter for a read call (e.g. FileSystem.cp()). Note that this gives you only limited control over how to interact with external storage, but that is necessary by Android security design. If you want to write anywhere you need the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, which will allow you to construct absolute paths yourself without needing to use a Dirs.* constant (/path/to/any/file.txt).

Ok, it is not a bug. Please any workaround around this?

[alpha0010]

Dirs constant does not currently have paths (though internal code technically has no restrictions against access). Android is moving toward requiring MediaStore api for apps interacting with shared phone storage and I am uncertain how best to implement (without diverging too far from iOS if possible, ideally avoiding need for Platform.OS checks for apps using this library).

[alpha0010]

Fixed in v0.6.0.

Oh OK thanks

I didn't figure it out correctly, is it possible to work with Internal Storage in android by using your library? I need to store my files in the internal Storage so unroot devices will not be able to access my files.

does your library support both internal and external Storage utilities in Android?

if it's possible, which functions give me that utility?

Thanks
