Hello brother, Thanks for the amazing tutorial. Can I open the file as soon as it downloads? How can I do that?

[@maen.kh_work]

great video thank you, for future reference instead of using for loop, you can easily make split like this String s = directory.path ; s.split("Android/").first // /storage/emulated/0/

[@mianarslan1239]

please answer a big fan here! 1. How can I download video from firebase storage like youtube App which is only accessible in App? 2. How can I show that video in download session of our app without internet?

[@zahrasgari]

I place ur url in the same exact code but when the phone download it it wont open and says (cant open this link) i dont know how to fix that?

[@user-ot2xn3wo8p]

But is it possible to save the file in external storage? Without going for hidden private data of android, the file should be visible externally.

[@muhammadrasul1581]

so you downloaded the video, but let's say you downloaded a pdf to the folder in the phone so how would you be able to read the downloaded pdf in the application?

[@obviousabsurdity3181]

Great video, cant find many on saving to local storage properly, My only issues is that I keep getting the error creation failed, operation not permitted even though its requesting and returning granted. Any thought?

try using your phone instead of emulated phone. Also add one more permission in android manifest -> and after installing that app in your physical phone allow it permission from app info to full media access and it gets fixed !!!!!!!!

Hey. Is it possible to "grab the file" without a file or image picker so the user is not forced to open the files folder on his phone and to post this on a server?

[@amanjain6084]

Then how you want it to happen can i know

[@cybrrxgegames8370]

@@amanjain6084 Actually I found a way. I download i file from firebase in a new folder which gets created before downöoading and saves it into this folder. Now i can automatically delcare a new file from the path which the file got saved to. Now I can use this file without even picking a file by myself in app, so the app does it for the user.

[@vrajendramandloi5917]

This Approach is not working for Android 11. do you have any solution for that. i tried to replicate exactly the same way but it is not getting created. ** when i try to run the app via connecting to laptop this works .. but it does not work when i build a APK and deploy to a mobile.. Path and all is absolutely correct i have checked it via dialogs.
