How to hide my Downloaded files

Discuss
#1

I want to hide the file and only my app can access the file and when uninstall then file will delete

I used “.” To hide but any other way

#2

I think we cannot hide.Because it automatically shows.But You can include that file in your aia file and that will not show in the file manager.

#3

I search on community I get /data/data/com.packagename.app can hide the files now I couldn’t find I search Many time

But this really hide the files ???
/data/data/com.packagename.app

#5

How the other app hide the files

1. Internal Storage
The Internal Storage can only be accessed with a rooted device.

1.1 The app package is saved in

Copy to clipboard

/data/data/<packageName>/

1.2. The Private directory is

Copy to clipboard

/data/user/0/<packageName>/files/

This private directory can be used with the File component to save / read text (setting the path without a slash). It can only be accessed by your app and is automatically removed when the app is uninstalled.

What do you mean by “How to hide my Downloaded files”?
Where are the files downloaded from and where should they be saved?
Post the (relevant) blocks.

#14

I download pdf from my app and I want hide the pdf that I downloaded

#15

And again: What does that mean? Where comes the pdf file from (where is it stored)?

#16

I use Download which is Inbuilt component in kodular

I download the pdf file using Download component
And that pdf store in /storage/emulated/0/Download/my folder/pdf

Now I want to hide this pdf file which can only access though my app or rooted device in location /data/data/packagename

#17

you might want to use the file extension and move that file to the ASD - application specific directory

Try this:

This way the pdf file is downloaded directly to a hidden folder (→ myDownloads) in the ASD without WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. This folder (myDownloads) can only be accessed by your app and is automatically deleted when the app is uninstalled.

I haven’t published this extension for Kodular yet (for AI2 only), but you can use this extension for this purpose too:
