Notification Upon file created using createFile() about react-native-blob-util HOT 10 CLOSED

Yes there is. createFile will resolve the promise upon file creation.
So you can use another library e.g. https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification to create a notification on promise resolve.

The documentDir refers to the apps internal directory so you can't see it from any other app. You would need root access for that

from react-native-blob-util.

We will run into a problem here.
In general with Android 10 / 11, following Apps are not allowed to access files outside of their scope anymore.
So we would be able to store the files outside of the apps directory (e.g. in the public Download directory) but the App would not be able to access it without a user opening it over a file picker.
Only exception would be using certain media file collections like the gallery for images.
One reason for this is exactly what you want to mitigate - that data the app created gets deleted when the app is uninstalled. The best probably would be to first store the file in the apps scope and then copy / move it to another, public location. But currently the app can't do the last part.

Hi @RonRadtke Thanks,

Whenever I create a Directory using

ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.mkdir(ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.dirs.DocumentDir + '/foldername')

Directory is created and I am able to check that by

ReactNativeBlobUtil.fs.exists

But I am not able to see that directory in physical device

Is there a way or a workaround to create file anywhere else other than apps internal storage , as whenever I clear data of my app those files also gets deleted

from react-native-blob-util.

Yes, you can use the downloadDir or the external storage directly. But keep in mind that you might need to request additional permissions for that.

Can you please share a snippet for that

from react-native-blob-util.

Tested it myself first. Seems like there are some problems with Android 10 / 11 at the moment.
For these Android versions all paths will be in the apps directory.
Some changes to use the media files api would be required here, so we can use predefined, global locations.
But I'm not sure yet when exactly I will get to implement this

from react-native-blob-util.

Okay thanks

0.14.0 was released yesterday implementing the possibility to store files in e.g. the download collection.
