[BUG] Android 11 Crash

[OPunktSchmidt]

This library seems to crash on Android 11. Is it planned to fix this? I dont get this error on other Android Versions

Same Problem Kindly fix

Same problem with android 11. Kindly update on this.

+1. My app also crashes with the exact same exception on Android 11. It's possible that the bug is in Android 11, I feel it's a bit of a buggy release, but still, it would be nice to have a work around or something. Thanks.

Looks like someone has a potential fix: sfilmak@c43a6b5

[OPunktSchmidt]

Has anyone found an alternative for this library? I don't think the bug will be fixed in the near future.

[mveroukis]

No need for an alternative. Someone else (sfilmak) fixed it. I forked his fork, tagged it and created a release for it. Since the original library uses jitpack, it's really easy to switch over to use your own fork of it. I just changed out:
com.github.codekidX:storage-chooser:2.0.4.4

and replaced it with:
com.github.mveroukis:storage-chooser:2.0.4.4a

The "a" at the end is my own tag, otherwise it would continue using the same version as the original. Now my app works in Android 11. As a bonus, it also uses newer versions of it's dependencies and targets API 30.

[NoelChew]

Good idea @mveroukis
The commit sfilmak@c43a6b5 contains other changes that broke my build.
I have forked and uploaded a commit with the only change that fixes the crash on Android 11 devices.
Here's the my version:

NoelChew@f0ffc9c

implementation 'com.github.noelchew:storage-chooser:2.0.4.4a'

[1stmetro]

I did manage to get the original code working with the external drive, a bit of a hack but its working ok for me.

I did step back for API 28 as there wasn't much point going to 29 or 30 due to scoped storage and this version of the app isnt going on google play so the api version doesnt matter.

If anyone is interested i can post the hack and maybe someone will improve upon it, it was a quick mod to the existing code.

Updated Dependencies, Optimised and compressed Resources and New Publishing Plugin
