Summary

0003220: Android 11 Storage permission needs rework

Description

Android 11 changed the way internal storage works. The App can’t write to /storage/emulated/0/vcmi-data
When checking the permissions, only the following prompt is available.
Allow access to media only.
As I understand, the following flag needs to be set, R.attr | Android Developers

Or separate app needs to be made just for Android 11 and beyond.

Steps To Reproduce

Install the daily build, create folder on /storage/emulated/0/vcmi-data

It detects the file but can't write to the folder, following error occurs
Could not save vcmi config; reason /storage/emulated/0/vcmi-data/config/json.conf: open failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)

Additional Information

Using Lenovo Tab P11, it has a keyboard with trackpad, thought it would be ideal to play HoMM3 with. But due to the Android 11 new permissions it causes older apps to misbehave.

(0008338) Nullkiller (developer) 2022-09-13 12:11	Today's build uses different approach and now it will search vcmi-data folder in different place. Internal Storage is removed. This is the way how Minecraft did it so I am not going to look for something else.
