My Question Here is How to save documents like CSV File in outer folder of android device

Answer 1

EDIT :

Well well well, I'm still trying to add anytype of file in the "download" directory. Personnaly, I'm trying to copy a file from my assetFolder and paste it to the "Download" folder. I haven't succeeded yet. However, I can currently CREATE anytype of file in that folder, it's working with the method below. I hope this can help you.

Here is my code :

    public void saveFileToPhone(InputStream inputStream, String filename) {
    OutputStream outputStream;
    Context myContext = requireContext();
    try {
        if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=Build.VERSION_CODES.Q){
            ContentResolver contentResolver = requireContext().getContentResolver();
            ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
            contentValues.put(MediaStore.Downloads.DISPLAY_NAME,filename);
            contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);
            Uri collection = MediaStore.Downloads.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL_PRIMARY);
            Uri fileUri = contentResolver.insert(collection, contentValues);
            outputStream = contentResolver.openOutputStream(Objects.requireNonNull(fileUri));
            Objects.requireNonNull(outputStream);

        }
    }catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Here it is what i have done with clean way

This is file provider activity

class FileProviderActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    var commonIntentLauncher: ActivityResultLauncher<Intent?> = registerForActivityResult(
        ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) { result ->
        if (result.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            result.data?.let {
                intent.getParcelableExtra<ResultReceiver>("FileReceiver")?.send(0, bundleOf(
                    "FileUri" to result?.data?.data.toString()
                ))
                finish()
            }
        }
    }


    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q){
            val activityIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT).apply {
                addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE)
                type = intent.getStringExtra("fileType")
                putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TITLE, intent.getStringExtra("fileName"))
                putExtra(DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI, MediaStore.Downloads.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI)
            }
            commonIntentLauncher.launch(activityIntent)
        }else{
            val directory: File = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS + "/Dunny/CSVFiles")
            if (!directory.exists()){
                directory.mkdirs()
            }

            intent.getParcelableExtra<ResultReceiver>("FileReceiver")?.send(0, bundleOf(
                "FileUri" to File(directory, intent.getStringExtra("fileName")!!).toURI().toString()
            ))
            finish()
        }
    }
}

This FileProviderHelper

class MyFileProvider {

    companion object {
        fun with(context: Context) = FileRequest(context)
    }

    class FileRequest(private val context: Context) {

        fun request(fileName: String, fileType: String = "application/*", file: (Uri?) -> Unit ) {
            val intent = Intent(context, FileProviderActivity::class.java)
                .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP)
                .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
                .putExtra("fileName",fileName)
                .putExtra("fileType", fileType)
                .putExtras(bundleOf("FileReceiver" to FileReceiver(file)))
            context.startActivity(intent)
        }
    }

    internal class FileReceiver(private val file: (Uri?) -> Unit) : ResultReceiver(Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())) {
        override fun onReceiveResult(resultCode: Int, resultData: Bundle?) {
            super.onReceiveResult(resultCode, resultData)
            resultData?.let {
                file(it.getString("FileUri")?.toUri())
            }
        }
    }
}

Here Is Use Of this Function

MyFileProvider.with(this).request("TestFile.csv","application/*") { fileUri ->
    toast(fileUri.toString())
}
