'How to fetch files in hidden folder using Media Store API
I need to fetch data inside WhatsApp folders on External Storage. As I am targeting API Level 30 I am no longer able to access WhatsApp folders on External Storage. I have implemented the Storage Access Framework and got the Android/media folder Uri and Document File. And using listFiles() i am able to list files but with filter() and sortedByDescending() functions it becomes very slow.
What I have tried?
Used Cursor loader with Projection and Selection Arguments but it only worked for non-hidden folders like WhatsApp Images and WhatsApp Videos
It returns an empty cursor for the hidden folder.Statuses
Tried replacing MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI with MediaStore.Video.Media.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL)
How i can use MediaStore in this case so that i don't need to use sort and filter functions of list? Its not important to get java.io File only i can work with URIs as well.
