Android 11 not fetching path for file

Question

I have been working to fetch file path from storage till now, For example file path is /storage/emulated/0/Download/NTL_ANDRODI_DOGMA_SYSTEMS_SRL_A_SOCIO_UNICO_TEST NEW.afgclic

After android 11 it's unable to fetch FilePath. After giving permission

uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

It's allowing for Android 11 also, but app is getting rejected by Play store. Since the permission cannot be used without a specific reason and its allowed only for filemanager or antivirus app. Now the point is how other app manages to work on Android 11 for fetching files.

I have been using READ and WRITE storage permission to access file from external storage. Files are required to verify license from other library information.

Answer 1

I have fixed it by fetching path from Google drive

private static String getDriveFilePath(Uri uri, Context context) {
Uri returnUri = uri;
Cursor returnCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(returnUri, null, null, null, null);
/*
 * Get the column indexes of the data in the Cursor,
 *     * move to the first row in the Cursor, get the data,
 *     * and display it.
 * */
int nameIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.DISPLAY_NAME);
int sizeIndex = returnCursor.getColumnIndex(OpenableColumns.SIZE);
returnCursor.moveToFirst();

String name = (returnCursor.getString(nameIndex));
String size = (Long.toString(returnCursor.getLong(sizeIndex)));
File file = new File(context.getCacheDir(), name);
try {
    InputStream inputStream = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(uri);
    FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
    int read = 0;
    int maxBufferSize = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
    int bytesAvailable = inputStream.available();

    //int bufferSize = 1024;
    int bufferSize = Math.min(bytesAvailable, maxBufferSize);

    final byte[] buffers = new byte[bufferSize];
    while ((read = inputStream.read(buffers)) != -1) {
        outputStream.write(buffers, 0, read);
    }
    Log.e("File Size", "Size " + file.length());
    inputStream.close();
    outputStream.close();
    Log.e("File Path", "Path " + file.getPath());
} catch (Exception e) {
    Log.e("Exception", e.getMessage());
}
    return file.getPath();
}     
}
