What's your plan for Android Q?

[staltz]

Hello fellow FOSS developer, I build the Manyverse app which is also on F-Droid.

Have you heard of Google's schedule to deprecate shared external directories? See this article.

Your app uses Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() which Google is deprecating in API level 29.

Android-File-Manager/src/com/nexes/manager/DirectoryInfo.java

Line 117 in 251f374

StatFs fs = new StatFs(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()

I think this is terrible news from Google, and I'd like to use getExternalStorageDirectory() too. This change in Android Q will affect all File Managers and significantly change the UX and possible features for users. I would like to know if you have any ideas what could be done.
