Are you sure that your application is under Android. Android does not have Recycle Bin.

I know android does not have recycle bin , but we making a facility like that, app example is Dumpster

Yeh, usually Android doesn't have a "Recycle Bin"(or "Trash" if you're using a Mac)

FWIW Huawei already has one, and maybe there's other devices and apps already do as well.

Well, you have organized your own RecyclerBin folder and move there deleted files.
I think you should store original path and file properties of deleted file into HashMap.
Then, when you decide to restore this file, use information from HashMap and move file back with original properties.

I'm not a developer, and so can't do that.

If there's isn't any open source, or demo code, etc, I guess you'll have to make it yourself. I think how a "recycle bin" or "trash can" operates, is only a folder for temporary storage of files that are moved there, before the user decides if they wish to delete them permanently or not. Could you code that?
