Message Dialog When Opening an Older Android App

NetSpeedZ
I have developed an app that I uploaded to Google Play years ago. I never had to fix anything on it as it was developed well before uploading. Now that Google is forcing developers (a whole separate thread on that topic :p ) to do various things to their apps, I need to upload a new version. I've decided to publish an entirely new app for this purpose. I've made a few changes and now am testing on a phone with Android 11. The app installs fine, however, when starting the app, there is a dialog displayed stating, 'This app was built for an older version of Android and may not work properly . . . . '

App runs fine when pressing on the 'OK' button. I've tried to change the android:minSdkVersion to 15 and the android:targetSdkVersion to 29 in Manifest but the dialog continues to display.

Is there something else in the Manifest.xml that is required?

Any assistance on this nagging problem would be appreciated.

Apps App crashing when trying to show system notification after downloading a new file

G
have and android application which downloads pdf documents from a backend service using the following code, executed in a class that implements android.os.AsyncTask that runs in background:

Java: 
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
   String path = Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS;
   ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
   contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, file.getName());
   contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH,path);
   ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver();
   Uri uri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Downloads.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues);
   try {
       OutputStream os = resolver.openOutputStream(uri);
       byte data[] = new byte[4096];
       int count;
       while ((count = is.read(data)) != -1) {
           os.write(data, 0, count);
       }
       os.flush();
       IOUtils.closeQuietly(os);
       IOUtils.closeQuietly(is);
   } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
       Log.e("DOWNLOAD","File not found",e);
   } catch (IOException e) {
       Log.e("DOWNLOAD","Error downloading file",e);
   }
} else {
   OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(file);
   byte data[] = new byte[4096];
   int count;
   while ((count = is.read(data)) != -1) {
       output.write(data, 0, count);
   }
   IOUtils.closeQuietly(output);
   IOUtils.closeQuietly(is);
}

After the download of the file, that completes withou errors, I try to show a notification in the system bar with the following code inside the onPostExecute() method of the AsyncTask:

Java: 
Uri fileUri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context,
       context.getResources().getString(R.string.file_provider_authority),
       file);

Intent viewFileIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
viewFileIntent.setDataAndType(fileUri, mimeType);
viewFileIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);

DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
manager.addCompletedDownload(fileName, fileName, true, mimeType, file.toString(), file.length(), true);

if ( context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities(
       viewFileIntent,
       PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY).size() > 0 ) {
   context.startActivity(viewFileIntent);
} else {
   DSSErrorUtils.showI18n(context, context.getString(R.string.MESSAGE_NO_APP_FOR_FILE));
}

When I run the emulator with Android 10 - SDK Version 30, the app crashes with the following error (generated in method manager.addCompletedDownload() ):

java.lang.SecurityException: No permission to write to /storage/emulated/0/Download/document_704.pdf: Neither user 10148 nor current process has android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

The same code executed on emulator or devices with Android 11 - SDK Version 30 runs without problems. Also with Android versions < 10 it works correctly.

Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!

Files being mysterious toss away when not being toss away..

Welll early today, when I got home from being in town for a bit, I noticed half of my photos went to the recycling bin in the device... Hmmm, now I am just wondering if it a giant bug or something being hacked in, but there has not been a single issue with it either, I am now wondering what did this occur and happen within that perfect time though. So I am wondering if anyone else's gallery got messed up.

Samsung Galaxy 7 Stuck on Tasks

Rick_Bear
Ok, it's November 2021, so the App has changed a bit. Ignore the three vertical dots menu (top right). Instead, click on the three horizontal bars menu (top left), then select Month. Hopefully, that'll take you back into your familiar Calendar.

(I've just wasted an hour on Samsung's 24/7 support chat, communicating with someone who knows nothing.)

Today's real hero is Lurker . Thanks for posting, mate.

When will software companies stop writing such appallingly bad Apps. Designed by clueless kids
