i want to copy files from aseets to android data folder in android 11, so how can i do this…?

Which /Android/data/ folder ?

You should use either TaifunFile or FileTools.

There is no way (and no extension) to copy / move / save a file in /Android/data/ (outside of the ASD).

Even not with MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

I am facing some problem with this SAF thing.
My end goal is to read a pdf from Documents folder and upload it to Firebase Storage. The problem I am facing is after picking the file from Documents folder and coverting its URI to path to upload it to Firebase Storage as it accepts File Paths only. I got path as /sdcard/… which is prompted as No such file or directory while uploading to Firebase Storage.

can anyone please reply my question

Why do you think so? Probably because you didn’t read complete post.


How did you convert uri to path? Try using PathFromUri method of FileTools extension.

Yes I am using PathFromUri from your FileTools extension but getting same thing i.e, /sdcard/ and google storage prompts no such file found
@vknow360

Because the URI is accessible to your app and not the path.
I believe you can access files from shared directories after getting read access.
