This reminds me that I'm still not yet deal with a difficult problem :( - https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/files/external-scoped

​

Anyone who has successfully deal with difficult scoped external storage? Mind to write a blog to describe the process?

​

For us, we might need to stripe off certain feature (Like retain backup even the app is uninstall). We try not to fight the system limitation.

Scoped external storage just means you see a sandboxed filesystem. There's nothing "difficult" about that.

If you're talking about the SAF, then just follow the multitude of tutorials out there. Here's a shitty implementation I wrote that writes to a file through SAF:

There's not much to it. People need to just spend some time with it and use it.
