In my app I have given facility to download reports in PDF formats. Everything was good until I was testing my app on Android 10 and below. Recently I updated a device to Android 11 and now I am not able to download any file in shared storage. I am getting Access Denied
error while downloading file.
I have given permission to read and write external storage
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
and my download path is
Android.OS.Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryDownloads).AbsolutePath;
I have also set android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
in AndroidManifest.xml
My code to download file looks like this
public async void DownloadSupplierSample(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string basepath;
if (Device.RuntimePlatform == Device.Android)
basepath = DependencyService.Get<IDownloadPath>().GetDownloadsPath();
else
basepath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "..", "Library");
PermissionStatus readstatus = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.StorageRead>();
PermissionStatus writestatus = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.StorageWrite>();
if (readstatus == PermissionStatus.Granted && writestatus == PermissionStatus.Granted)
{
DownloadSupplier(basepath);
}
else
{
var read = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.StorageRead>();
var write = await Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.StorageWrite>();
if (read == PermissionStatus.Granted && write == PermissionStatus.Granted)
{
DownloadSupplier(basepath);
}
}
await DisplayAlert("", "Sample is downaloaded at Downloads directory","Ok");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
async void DownloadSupplier(string basepath)
{
using (var stream = await FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync("SupplierMaster.xlsx"))
{
string filename = $"SupplierMaster_{DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss")}.xlsx";
string filepath = Path.Combine(basepath, filename);
byte[] bytes = Utils.Common.StreamToBytes(stream);
File.WriteAllBytes(filepath, bytes);
//using (Stream filestream = File.Create(filepath))
//{
// //stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
// stream.CopyTo(filestream);
//}
}
}
I have tried setting flag from device as well from this link
How can I define scoped storage for my app ?
Any update how can I download PDF file in my downloads directory ?
Thank you.
from Xamarin.Forms - How to define scoped storage for android and how can I implement it to downlaod files in Downloads directory?
