Whats new with Data Storage?
summary
Scoped Storage restricts app access to shared files and media and Android 10 already moves writes into MediaStore while Android R (11) adds batch operations and the new MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission for file managers. Migration specifics include inserting with ContentValues, using the IS_PENDING flag to hide incomplete files, catching RecoverableSecurityException and launching an intent sender to get user consent, and relying on the temporary requestLegacyExternalStorage manifest escape that won’t be permanent. Examples show taking photos into MediaStore and recursive vs batch deletes.
