openDocumentTree and go back on UI about react-native-scoped-storage

[ammarahm-ed]

Use createDocument for one time download to a folder.

You can return if the download is cancelled? I don't see the download related code here? Another way would be to delete the file if it was written possibly. Otherwise do nothing.

Hi Thx for the reply also thx for suggestion the createDocument but the problem exists also with this function
here is what is missing in such function please have a look you
the problem is that you just assume the ideal scenario and not thinking if something go wrong to reject the promise such as user just navigate back to the app with back button

Nothing will happen if the user navigates back in the app after selecting the folder. The code will execute and complete. I don't see any problem. It's working great in a production app for me.

yes exactly not after selecting a folder I mean before selection

• user starts to download
• after download the file tree opens (createDocument )
• the user now must select a folder to put the file in ( createDocument )
• here the user would not select any folder but only press the nav back button until the root folder and then form the document tree to app and the app is still waiting for state for the user to select a folder to put the file

this problem can be resolved by adding the else I mentioned

It is already handled. It will return null if there is no folder selected.

here is the control line

        const CreatedFile = await createDocument(filename, '*/*', buff, 'base64');
        console.log(CreatedFile);

the line console.log(CreatedFile); would never be invoked/executed

Hi Did you try the code i sent ?

[ammarahm-ed]

@projectnetworld Can you try the master branch and see if it is working as expected now?

yarn add https://github.com/ammarahm-ed/react-native-scoped-storage.git

How to create directory without using openDocumentTree() method and also how to get path for create directory.

[ammarahm-ed]

@gkasireddy202 You can't. that's how scoped storage works. You can't just access stuff without acquiring permissions first. To get path for a directory, use openDocumentTree

[gkasireddy202]

I am using below code for acquiring permissions but below error is occurred.
Can you please share example code for acquiring permissions and create directory.

'/storage/emulated/0'does not have permission to create directories - This error is occurred by using below code for creating the directory in external storage.

createDirectory=async()=>{

const path = ${RNFS.ExternalStorageDirectoryPath};
try {
const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE );
if (granted == PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED)
{
ScopedStorage.createDirectory(path, "TEST").then((obj) => {
alert(obj)
})
.catch(error => {
console.log("ERROR" + error)
})

    } else {
        console.log('permission denied');
    }
} catch (err) {
    console.warn(err);
}

}
