@liveoverflow Have you checked the configuration of the app that exports files? In Android 11 the package visibility feature was added, and in some pocs I built I had that type of problems: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/package-visibility-in-android-11-cc857f221cd9. You should check the Android Manifest for that config.

@liveoverflow Does it not show up in the hamburger menu of that Files picker?

@xezrunner ahh that is a good pointer. I do see two other apps there.

@liveoverflow I'm pretty sure the default file manager was locked down to "only system" apps in some Android version not so long ago, that would be it?

@luca020400 could definitely be the case, but do you have a source?

luca020400 Bot , vor einem Monat

@liveoverflow https://developer.android.com/training/data-storage/shared/documents-files#create-file
Says it uses the "system file picker"
I'll search for the actual AOSP code, but I think it's related to the MANAGE_DOCUMENTS protected permission.

@liveoverflow I think nowadays you create a document provider and export it?

@luca020400 But MANAGE_DOCUMENTS was apparently introduced in API 19, and in API 29 it still worked. Seems to be a change to API 30.

Also I tried the provider, but it doesn't show up in the chooser either.

@liveoverflow The provider makes it show up in the documents UI (file picker), I'll keep looking, but I clearly remember that changing to only allow the system to provide the handler for those actions (for security/UX)

@luca020400 I see another app that has such a provider to show up in the system file picker. Though mine doesn't show up yet. But that's a good pointer I will investigate :)

@liveoverflow well if they managed to get it working, it's either target SDK or something different in the manifest.
Nothing a quick look with apktool won't solve

@luca020400 I want to get it to work on default latest target SDK though. Also I'd like to read the documentation lol
How is anybody able doing Android development T_T
