DocumentsUI shows "Anonymous" application when requesting access to directory

One user reported that my app fails to request directory access when selecting a folder via the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE intent.
For some reason it does not show my application, instead "Anonymous":
Translated: "Allow Anonymous to access files in Camera. This will let Anonymous access current and future content stored in Camera".
The user has a MIUI 12 with Android 11 on a Mi Note 10 lite.
I have the same just with a Mi Note 10, no issues ofc.
Checked the Android source code:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/DocumentsUI/+/refs/heads/master/src/com/android/documentsui/picker/ConfirmFragment.java#82
case TYPE_OEPN_TREE:
final Uri treeUri = mTarget.getTreeDocumentUri();
final BaseActivity activity = (BaseActivity) getActivity();
final String target = activity.getCurrentTitle();
final String text = getString(R.string.open_tree_dialog_title,
**getCallingAppName**(getActivity()), target);
message = getString(R.string.open_tree_dialog_message,
**getCallingAppName**(getActivity()), target);
builder.setTitle(text);
builder.setMessage(message);
builder.setPositiveButton(
R.string.allow,
(DialogInterface dialog, int id) -> {
pickResult.increaseActionCount();
mActions.finishPicking(treeUri);
});
break;
#NonNull
public static String getCallingAppName(Activity activity) {
final String anonymous = activity.getString(R.string.anonymous_application);
final String packageName = getCallingPackageName(activity);
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(packageName)) {
return anonymous;
}
final PackageManager pm = activity.getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo ai;
try {
ai = pm.getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0);
} catch (final PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
return anonymous;
}
CharSequence result = pm.getApplicationLabel(ai);
return TextUtils.isEmpty(result) ? anonymous : result.toString();
}
public static String getCallingPackageName(Activity activity) {
String callingPackage = activity.getCallingPackage();
// System apps can set the calling package name using an extra.
try {
ApplicationInfo info =
activity.getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(callingPackage, 0);
if (isSystemApp(info) || isUpdatedSystemApp(info)) {
final String extra = activity.getIntent().getStringExtra(
Intent.EXTRA_PACKAGE_NAME);
if (extra != null && !TextUtils.isEmpty(extra)) {
callingPackage = extra;
}
}
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
// Couldn't lookup calling package info. This isn't really
// gonna happen, given that we're getting the name of the
// calling package from trusty old Activity.getCallingPackage.
// For that reason, we ignore this exception.
}
return callingPackage;
}
...and it seems that for whatever reason my packagename isn't found. How can can happen?
Asked him to install one of my other apps, and it happens there as well.
Asked him then to install another app from the playstore (FX File Explorer) and there it does not happen.
So it is specific to his device and my app.

So it turned out that this user having that issue turned off the MIUI Optimizations in the developer settings.

Bug report: συσκευη, εκδοση miui, Play store install (alpha 1021). It was impossible to specify a b i o s file or specify a game image directory in when MIUI optimizations are off. Turning them back on fixed the issue and directories are scanned normally. Also on the popup to allow folder access the app displays as "Anonymous" instead of AetherSX2 on my system. Some developer was talking about having the same issue here.

Is there a simpler way to check which download has been completed?

I'm currently creating an app that needs to download a couple of videos then save the local path of it on a SQLite database.
At first, I wanted to get the URL of the video I downloaded but I can't seem to find anything that discusses about it. I tried to get COLUMN_MEDIAPROVIDER_URI and COLUMN_URI from the intent passed on the BroadcastReceiver for DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE but they return null.
Then I found about EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID. But if I use that, I still need to use something like a new HashMap that got the EXTRA_DOWNLOAD_ID of my download and the id of the video on my SQLite database for checking which is which.
I'm fine with that but I want to know if there's an easier way to do the thing I want.

I did this using OkHttp, as follows:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(YOUR_URL)
.build();
client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
#Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
// ERROR MESSAGE
}
#Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
response.body().byteStream(); // byteStream with your result.
}
}
});
Another thing, maybe would be better if you store the videos on memory and just the address in your SQLite.

Using the code below from the SO question here
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (DownloadManager.ACTION_DOWNLOAD_COMPLETE.equals(action)) {
// get the DownloadManager instance
DownloadManager manager = (DownloadManager) context.getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Query q = new DownloadManager.Query();
Cursor c = manager.query(q);
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_FILENAME));
Log.i("DOWNLOAD LISTENER", "file name: " + name);
} while (c.moveToNext());
} else {
Log.i("DOWNLOAD LISTENER", "empty cursor :(");
}
c.close();
}
}
and saving the download id on my ArrayList I was able to make a simpler way to check which download is finished.
I modified it to look like this for my use case.
Cursor c = dlMgr.query(new DownloadManager.Query());
boolean found = false;
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String dlFilePath = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_LOCAL_FILENAME));
int dlId = Integer.parseInt( c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(DownloadManager.COLUMN_ID)) );
for(int x = 0; x < vidArrLst.size(); x++){
VideoAd va = vidArrLst.get(x);
if(va.getDownloadId() == dlId){
dbHelper.updateLocalPath(va.getVideoId(), dlFilePath);
va.setLocalPath(dlFilePath);
found = true;
break;
}
}
} while (c.moveToNext() && !found);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "empty cursor :(");
}
UPDATE:
Sometimes this method will show that 2 downloads finished with the same file name which results to a video item to not have a local path. What I did is check if the local path is empty, download id is greater than 0, and if the download id is still downloading before playing a video so I can redownload a video and fix the gap and play the local file the next time the video needs to be played.

How to create a Continues running background file upload in android?

I am developing an android application that can upload images one by one of a specific folder to the server from background without interrupting the UI. What I implemented is a intentService calls from the launcher activity with the runtime permissions to read the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. I need to upload all the files in the folder and also need to upload new file that are created or moved to the folder. For that I created a file observer class, which I think is not working properly.
public class DirectoryFileObserver extends FileObserver {
String aboslutePath = "";
public DirectoryFileObserver(String path) {
super(path, FileObserver.ALL_EVENTS);
aboslutePath = path;
Log.i("watch path", path);
}
#Override
public void onEvent(int event, String path) {
Log.i("FileObserver++", "File Created:" + path);
File file = new File(aboslutePath + "/" + path);
List<Skeem> mSkeemList = Skeem.find(Skeem.class, "file = ?", new String[]{file.getAbsolutePath()});
if (mSkeemList.size() == 0) {
Skeem mSkeem = new Skeem();
mSkeem.setUsername(AppConstants.UserEmail);
mSkeem.setFolderName(aboslutePath);
mSkeem.setFile(file.getAbsolutePath());
uploadService uploadService = new uploadService();
uploadService.upload(mSkeem);
}
switch (event) {
case FileObserver.ALL_EVENTS:
Log.d("All", "Path" + path);
break;
case FileObserver.CREATE:
Log.d("Create", "Path" + path);
break;
}
}
}
Also created a broad cast receiver as follows to resume file upload when the net connection is retained
public class InternetConnector_Receiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public InternetConnector_Receiver() {
}
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
try {
boolean isVisible = BaseApplication
.isActivityVisible();// Check if
// activity
// is
// visible
// or not
Log.i("Activity is Visible ", "Is activity visible : " + isVisible);
// If it is visible then trigger the task else do nothing
if (isVisible == true) {
ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager
.getActiveNetworkInfo();
// Check internet connection and accrding to state change the
// text of activity by calling method
if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnected()) {
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, uploadService.class);
context.startService(serviceIntent);
} else {
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
and in manifest
<receiver
android:name=".InternetConnector_Receiver"
android:enabled="true">
<intent-filter>
<!-- Intent filters for broadcast receiver -->
<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
I add all the files to the database with a status false.
File[] files = directory.listFiles();
for (int n = 0; n < skeemList.size(); n++) {
Skeem skeem = skeemList.get(n);
for (int o = 0; o < files.length; o++) {
if (!(skeem.getFile().equalsIgnoreCase(files[o].getAbsolutePath()))) {
if (!files[o].isDirectory()) {
Skeem mSkeem = new Skeem();
mSkeem.setFile(files[o].getAbsolutePath());
mSkeem.setFolderName(directory.getName());
mSkeem.setUsername(email);
upload(mSkeem);
}
}
}
}
Then I starts uploading the files with status false and update table with status true.
When I launch the application, the image upload starts successfully. But after some time it stops. Am I using correct Service to upload files from background? Is there any way to upload the contents of the folder? I have gone through so many sites and links. But I couldn't find the exact solution I needed. Please help me.

With the new Background Limitations for Service execution you need to be very cautious with background services.
Instead of an IntentService I recommend you to use a JobIntentService as Google suggests. Pre-Oreo it acts as an IntentService, on (Post-)Oreo it uses Jobs to do background work. Remember to request WAKE_LOCK permission

Google Drive Change Subscriptions not working?

I'm trying to get 'Change Subscriptions' to work using the Drive API for Android, but been unsuccessful so far.
Here the simple use case:
2 android devices, both using the same google account
both subscribe to the same 'file of interest' in their drive folder
if the file 'changes', be it from a change performed by one of the two devices or any external source, all devices that subscribed to this file are notified
As far as I understand, this is exactly what 'Change Subscriptions' are supposed to do for me. I'm using play services revision 27.
The problem I have:
A 'file content change' (or some other file event) made locally on one device is never properly propagated to the all other devices that subscribed to the same file.
Does anyone know of any solutions to this issue, or can point my to what I'm doing wrong?
I've written some simple testcode (see below), that only needs a connected googleApiClient, here's what I tested:
1.
device 1 creates a new testfile calling testFileWriteNew() and adds a change subscription to this file using testFileAddAndRemoveSubscription(), the expected log output:
testfile.txt created, driveId=DriveId:CAESABi0AyDAu9XZhVMoAA== resourceId=null
onCompletion; driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYtAMgwLvV2YVTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
STATUS_SUCCESS
added subscription to testfile.txt, driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYtAMgwLvV2YVTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
2.
device 2 adds a change subscription to the same file using testFileAddAndRemoveSubscription(), the expected log output:
added subscription to testfile.txt, driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYwgIg9I-GyZRTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
As expected, the driveId is different on both devices, but the resourceId is the same 0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU, so that same 'cloud' file is referenced
3.
If I update the file with some new data via testFileUpdate I get the following on device 1:
testfile.txt updated, driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYtAMgwLvV2YVTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
and device 2:
testfile.txt updated, driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYwgIg9I-GyZRTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
4.
Unfortunately, the 'change of content' in the onChange method of the service is only triggered locally. A changed done by device 1 never reaches device 2 and vice versa. If I update the file using device 2 I see the following log on device 2 coming from the service:
onChange; driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYwgIg9I-GyZRTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
contentChanged
onChange; driveId=DriveId:CAESHDBCLXNzaGVuNGlURkFOMGh0ZWtGWU5FeHVTRVUYwgIg9I-GyZRTKAA= resourceId=0B-sshen4iTFAN0htekFYNExuSEU
metadataChanged
but I never see the onChange method being triggered on device 1, if device 2 triggered a change, which I would expect.
Code:
private boolean testFileWriteNew() {
final DriveFolder folderRoot = Drive.DriveApi.getRootFolder(mGoogleApiClient);
DriveContentsResult contentsResult = Drive.DriveApi.newDriveContents(mGoogleApiClient).await();
if (!contentsResult.getStatus().isSuccess()) {

if(!status.isSuccess()) {
return false;
}
Log.d(TAG, "added subscription to testfile.txt, driveId=" + file.getDriveId().encodeToString() + " resourceId=" + file.getDriveId().getResourceId());
return true;
} else {
com.google.android.gms.common.api.Status status = file.removeChangeSubscription(mGoogleApiClient).await();
if(!status.isSuccess()) {
return false;
}
Log.d(TAG, "removed subscription from testfile.txt, driveId=" + file.getDriveId().encodeToString() + " resourceId=" + file.getDriveId().getResourceId());
return true;
}
}
And here the service class:
public class ChangeService extends DriveEventService {
// TAG
private static final String TAG = ChangeService.class.getSimpleName();
#Override
public void onChange(ChangeEvent event) {
final DriveId driveId = event.getDriveId();
Log.e(TAG, "onChange; driveId=" + driveId.encodeToString() + " resourceId=" + driveId.getResourceId());
if(event.hasContentChanged()) { Log.e(TAG, "contentChanged"); }
else if(event.hasMetadataChanged()) { Log.e(TAG, "metadataChanged"); }
else if(event.hasBeenDeleted()) { Log.e(TAG, "beenDeleted"); }
}
#Override
public void onCompletion(CompletionEvent event) {
final DriveId driveId = event.getDriveId();
Log.e(TAG, "onCompletion; driveId=" + driveId.encodeToString() + " resourceId=" + driveId.getResourceId());
switch (event.getStatus()) {
case CompletionEvent.STATUS_CONFLICT: Log.e(TAG, "STATUS_CONFLICT"); break;
case CompletionEvent.STATUS_FAILURE: Log.e(TAG, "STATUS_FAILURE"); break;
case CompletionEvent.STATUS_SUCCESS: Log.e(TAG, "STATUS_SUCCESS "); break;
case CompletionEvent.STATUS_CANCELED: Log.e(TAG, "STATUS_CANCELED "); break;
}
event.dismiss();
}
}

I believe, you are falling into the same trap as many of us did before. I too originally assumed that the 'DriveEventService' takes care of notifications between multiple devices running under the same account. I tried and failed miserably, see here (and notice the resounding silence - since April 2014). I was always getting events on a single device only. So, I actually realized that Change Events work only locally within the GooPlaySvcs instance.
This was more or less confirmed by a comment from Steve Bazyl in this unrelated answer (please read including the 'ORIGINAL POST' paragraph), confirming my theory that both 'Change Events' and 'Completion Events' are local (Completion Events report result of network action - like http response).
So to answer your question. after fighting this for awhile, I had to develop a different strategy:
1/ perform GDAA action (create, update)
2/ wait for a Completion Event indicating your mod has been promoted to the Drive
3/ broadcast GCM message that include ResourceId (not DriveId !) plus optional data (up to 4K) to the registered participants.
4/ 'Registered participants' react to the message and download updated metadata/content, resolving the conflicts.
This solution is from summer 2014 and there may be some other pre-packaged solutions from Google since. I'd be happy myself to hear from people who know if there is more elegant solution.
Quite frankly, I don't understand what is this and this for, if the Completion Events do not timely reflect (notify of) the update from another device.
Good Luck

Not fully listing Google Drive folders and files in Android app

I am trying to access all files and folders from google drive to a arraya list. But I can get only one file from Drive. What to do get all files and folders from google drive. I am using the following code..
Thanks
Arun
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
// Log.i(TAG, "API client connected.");
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Successfully logged in", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
DriveFolder s = Drive.DriveApi.getRootFolder(mGoogleApiClient);
String s1 = (Drive.DriveApi.getRootFolder(mGoogleApiClient)).getDriveId().toString();
DriveId sFolderId2 = DriveId.decodeFromString(s1);
DriveId sFolderId = (Drive.DriveApi.getRootFolder(mGoogleApiClient)).getDriveId();
DriveFolder folder = Drive.DriveApi.getFolder(mGoogleApiClient, sFolderId);
folder.listChildren(mGoogleApiClient).setResultCallback(rootFolderCallback);
// findAll(folder);
}
public ResultCallback<DriveApi.MetadataBufferResult> rootFolderCallback = new
ResultCallback<DriveApi.MetadataBufferResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(DriveApi.MetadataBufferResult result) {
if (!result.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
return;
}
resultarray = new ArrayList<String>();
int hh = result.getMetadataBuffer().getCount();
for (int i = 0; i < result.getMetadataBuffer().getCount(); i++) {
resultarray.add(result.getMetadataBuffer().get(i).getTitle());
}
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Successfully listed files.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
};

UPDATE (Aug 25, 2015, 10:39 MST)
Based on your comment below, you have 2 options:
1/ Stay with the GDAA, use one of the INTENTS:
- Pick a file with opener activity
- Pick a folder with opener activity
See, GDAA does not let your app see anything it did not create (SCOPE_FILE only), but it still allows user to browse everything. If the user selects a file, it will become visible to you app. I don't know your app's intentions, so I can't say if this approach is usable.
2/ Switch to the REST with the DRIVE scope and your app will see everything (user has to approve up front). The basic CRUD implementation can be found here but make sure you change the scope in the init() method to 'DriveScopes.DRIVE'.
In case your app needs to iterate down the folder tree, collecting files in the process, both 'testTree()' and 'deleteTree()' methods in the MainActivity() do exactly that.
You may also stay with the GDAA and add REST functionality to it by adding
com.google.api.services.drive.Drive mGOOSvc = new Drive.Builder(AndroidHttp.newCompatibleTransport(), new GsonFactory(),
GoogleAccountCredential.usingOAuth2(appContext, Collections.singletonList(DriveScopes.DRIVE))
.setSelectedAccountName(email)
but you will sooner or later run into problems caused by GDAA caching / latency.
ORIGINAL ANSWER
Try this approach:
private static GoogleApiClient mGAC;
/****************************************************************************
* find file/folder in GOODrive
* #param prnId parent ID (optional), null searches full drive, "root" searches Drive root
* #param titl file/folder name (optional)
* #param mime file/folder mime type (optional)
* #return arraylist of found objects
*/
static void search(String prnId, String titl, String mime) {
if (mGAC != null && mGAC.isConnected()) {
// add query conditions, build query
ArrayList<Filter> fltrs = new ArrayList<>();
if (prnId != null){
fltrs.add(Filters.in(SearchableField.PARENTS,
prnId.equalsIgnoreCase("root") ?
Drive.DriveApi.getRootFolder(mGAC).getDriveId() : DriveId.decodeFromString(prnId)));
}
if (titl != null) fltrs.add(Filters.eq(SearchableField.TITLE, titl));
if (mime != null) fltrs.add(Filters.eq(SearchableField.MIME_TYPE, mime));
Query qry = new Query.Builder().addFilter(Filters.and(fltrs)).build();
// fire the query
Drive.DriveApi.query(mGAC, qry).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<MetadataBufferResult>() {
#Override
public void onResult(MetadataBufferResult rslt) {
if (rslt != null && rslt.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
MetadataBuffer mdb = null;
try {
mdb = rslt.getMetadataBuffer();
if (mdb != null ) for (Metadata md : mdb) {
if (md == null || !md.isDataValid()) continue;
String title = md.getTitle();
DriveId driveId = md.getDriveId();
//.......
}
} finally { if (mdb != null) mdb.close(); }
}
}
});
}
}
Call it first with NULLs
search(null,null,null)
To list all the files in your Google Drive. You will see all the files your Android App created. But only those - FILE scope does not see anything else.
If you need to scan the directory tree, you may look closer at this GDAA demo, in MainActivity, there is are 'testTree()' / 'deleteTree() methods that recursively scan the directory tree structure.
Also, you may look at the answer here, it deals with a similar issue (especially the comments exchange under the answer).
Good Luck

Please note that you can use GDAA to retrieve the files and folder that you have either uploaded from the Android Device or downloaded via the drive app. This is to have more security (as quoted by Google).
In he code you need to ensure that you are trying all possible combinations for the files that may be present in your Google Drive account. For example, check if you are tracking the parent of a file or a folder. If this condition is not met your app wont be able to retrieve those specific files.
/** Get the list of parents Id in ascending order. */
private List<String> collectParents(String folderId, Map<String, String> folderIdToParentId){
String parentId = folderIdToParentId.get(folderId);
if (logger.isTraceEnabled()){
logger.trace("Direct parent of {} is {}", folderId, parentId);
}
List<String> ancestors = new ArrayList<String>();
ancestors.add(parentId);
if (folderIdToParentId.containsKey(parentId)){
ancestors.addAll(collectParents(parentId, folderIdToParentId));
return ancestors;
}
return ancestors;
}
