Changes to file writing system

  • Now, all components have their own FileScope
    These are the components - firebase storage, download, audio picker, camera viewer, FTP, Google drive, QR code and wallpaper.

    Screenshot (246)
    Let us know if we missed any component

  • All picker components(AudioPicker, VideoPicker, ImagePicker) no more writes to storage. On their Picked event, you have path and contentUri.

    component_event

This prevents your app from rewriting the same file. Using this way, you can even play 1.5 GB or more bigger videos without any crashes.
Both path and contentUri can be used to point the picked file.

if you want to rewrite the picked file in storage, you can use File.CopyContentUri

New Features

  • As we know, we need to ask for dangerous permissions at runtime after Android 6.0 but we can only ask the permissions which is declared in app’s AndroidManifest.xml. To declare the permissions in AndroidManifest.xml, you can upload the permissions.txt file in your app’s assets with all required permissions.

like this
permissions.txt (83 Bytes)
