Fragment use: You must provide EXTRA_CONFIG when starting the DirectoryChooserActivity about android-directorychooser

[passy]

Hey @Hofferic,

thanks for the bug report. I'm a bit confused. Does this happen when using the chooser as a fragment or an activity? Since the error message can only be thrown from the activity I assume it's the latter, but your code is for a fragment. Can you clarify this for me?

That is exactly what confuses me, I only use the above method and a nearly exact copy with slightly different permission handling in the onboarding activity. I only ever use the fragment and cannot explain for the life of me how the activity comes into this. Here is the second method I use to call the library:

private void setDownloadFolder(){
        if(!Globals.PERMISSION_STORAGE){
            Hacks.coerceFullWidth(
                    Snackbar.make(findViewById(R.id.oobe_gestureOverlayView), R.string.snackbar_permission_storage, Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
            ).setAction(R.string.snackbar_permission_action, new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
                    intent.setData(android.net.Uri.parse("package:com.hoffmann.eric.calibrebox"));
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            }).show();
            return;
        }

        final DirectoryChooserConfig config = DirectoryChooserConfig.builder()
                .newDirectoryName("EBooks")
                .initialDirectory(getSharedPreferences(Globals.SETTINGS_NAME, MODE_PRIVATE).getString(Globals.DOWNLOAD_DIR,
                        Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).getPath()))
                .allowNewDirectoryNameModification(true)
                .allowReadOnlyDirectory(false)
                .build();
        mDialog = DirectoryChooserFragment.newInstance(config);
        mDialog.show(getFragmentManager(), null);
    }

And here is the crash trace (as it is in onCreate I would guess it happens during configuration changes, as the dialog is only opened after the user clicks a button. But rotating while the fragment is open did not reproduce the issue on any of my test devices)

I just had an Idea where the Activity version is referenced - In the Manifest!

<!-- file picker -->
<activity android:name="net.rdrei.android.dirchooser.DirectoryChooserActivity" />

Not sure if that contributes to this mysterious crash though :/

[nghelam2008]

same problem! However, I use in Activity with your code so it work well. Thanks!
