On Android 7.0 or later, if you need access to a specific directory on
|
||||
external storage, use scoped directory access. Scoped directory access
|
||||
simplifies how your application accesses standard external storage directories,
|
||||
such as the <code>Pictures</code> directory, and provides a simple
|
||||
permissions UI that clearly details what directory the application is
|
||||
requesting access to. For more details on scoped directory access, see
