Android 11 SQLite with Scoped Storage

Question

It doesn't seem like I can access and load a sqlite file anywhere outside of the apps "files" folder (i.e. Andorid/Data/my.app/files). Am I missing something? It doesn't seem like SQLite can use a Uri to load a database unless that data is copied to a temp location or something. Is there nowhere my app can use the normal file system other than the apps location?

Thanks.

@ThoriyaPrahalad That was a temporary workaround back then. It doesn't work anymore, seems like they haven't thought everything through before making drastic changes, as always. — M D P, Jul 17 '21 at 16:10

You can write your file for instance in the Documents directory.

What if the file is not created by our app in the first place? – M D P Jul 17 '21 at 16:13
In the first place that was not your question. – blackapps Jul 19 '21 at 07:50
