So I am trying to store a PDF file on the user's android device by creating a Folder and then storing it. I am using getExternalStorageDir() but this has been deprecated under API29. The problem is Andriod guidelines say to opt-out out of scoped storage I have to put this in Manifest File
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
....
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<application
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
....
</application>
This is not working anymore. I can download on Devices with andriod M but Not able to in recent 9/10 devices.
