Hello guys,
Permission to access the folder is requested via an intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE.
I've tested on my devices (Android 11, Android 16).
To my surprise, it's no longer handled by Google Files.
The intent is processed by the system app (Documents UI) com.google.android.documentsui, and all other apps are ignored.
Probably, on some custom ROMs of Android, this app is missing or deactivated.
I've found some discussion about it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestio ... _document/
and
https://android.stackexchange.com/quest ... android-13
You can try to find this app in(System/Apps/show all apps, Show system apps), search "com.google.android.documentsui" or "DocumentsUI" and activate it if available.
or
If the application is missing, it looks like it can be installed additionally from
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261778629
So this is a problem on the system side that cannot be solved on the MMA side.
I keep my fingers crossed that you manage to solve this.
