Answer 1

You will have to add android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" to your manifest, otherwise Android 10 will not allow access. In general, avoid directly accessing storage since it has become much more tricky from Android 11 onwards.

Also,

Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath()

will no longer return your desired path but will actually return the same path as

getFilesDir() .
