Choosing the right storage experience

To ease the migration for apps that currently use storage permissions, apps will run in a compatibility mode. In this mode, if a user chooses “Select photos and videos” the permission will appear to be granted, but the app will only be able to access the selected photos. The permission will be revoked when your app process is killed or in the background for a certain time (similar to one time permissions). When the permission is once again requested by your app, users can select a different set of pictures or videos if they wish. Instead of letting the system manage this re-selection, it’s recommended for apps to handle this process to have a better user experience.

You may not need permissions
As of Android 10 (API 29), you no longer need storage permissions to add files to shared storage. This means that you can add images to the gallery, record videos and save them to shared storage, or download PDF invoices without having to request storage permissions. If your app only adds files to shared storage and does not query images or videos, you should stop requesting storage permissions and set a maxSdkVersion of API 28 in your AndroidManifest.xml:
<!-- No permission is needed to add files from Android 10 --> |
ACTION_GET_CONTENT behavior change
In intent is launched with an image and/or video mime type. If you haven’t tested yet this change, you can enable it manually on your device:
adb shell device_config put storage_native_boot take_over_get_content true |
