getExternalStorageDirectory() is deprecated

Question

Suppose I have a Notepad-like app, where you can create and save text documents.

I want my users to be able to access those files (so that they can copy them to a computer, for example).

Before API 29, getExternalStorageDirectory() was a good choice - the directory was created in the root of sdcard and easily accessible. However, since API 29 it is deprecated. So now I have to use getExternalFilesDir(null) directory.

The problem is that that directory's path is something like Android/data/your_package_name/files , which is very inconvenient for the users. Many of them can't find it. So, which method should I use?

Answer 1

使用 getExternalFilesDir()、getExternalCacheDir() 或 getExternalMediaDir()（上下文方法）而不是 Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()。
