Failed to find configured root that contains /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/filename.pdf about react-native-blob-util HOT 16 CLOSED

It's currently not possible, no.
I plan on implementing a possibility to write / read to / from the Media collections in august. With this change it then should be possible to store files in the common downloads directory too

from react-native-blob-util.

@Kamani Here is the full logic I am using.

from react-native-blob-util.

@Kamani
I was also using import RNFS from'react-native-fs';
so in my path I just used
path : RNFS.ExternalDirectoryPath +'/certificate.pdf',

from react-native-blob-util.

@arunim2405
I tried to save file directly as you mentioned path : RNFS.ExternalDirectoryPath +'/certificate.pdf',.

`
ReactNativeBlobUtil.config({

  path: RNFS.ExternalDirectoryPath + 'receipt.pdf',

  addAndroidDownloads: {

    useDownloadManager: true,

    notification: true,

    mime: 'application/pdf',

    description: 'Downloading Receipt.',

    mediaScannable: true,

  },

  overwrite: false,

})`

But it keeps saving file in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/
Any Idea?

You seem to have missed '/' in '/receipt.pdf'

from react-native-blob-util.

@arunim2405 Found issue. I have given path before addAndroidDownloads.
While to make it work need to give path inside addAndroidDownloads.
Thank you so much man.

Infact I think we should atleast update this document.
Because in document https://github.com/RonRadtke/react-native-blob-util#download-example-fetch-files-that-need-authorization-token as well they mentioned to give path directly and not inside addAndroidDownloads.

@RonRadtke I think this should be updated in document.

from react-native-blob-util.

@RonRadtke Infact document contains many links which are resolving to 404. That should be also removed. If document will be clear I do think lot's of developer's will find it helpful.

To which directory are you saving the file?
Looks like it is outside of your apps private directories

from react-native-blob-util.

I was trying to download the file in the common downloads directory of android, but I changed that to my app directory and that fixed the issue. Is it or when will it be possible to directly download to the common downloads directory?

from react-native-blob-util.

@arunim2405 how you saved file to your app directory?

from react-native-blob-util.

But it keeps saving file in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/
Any Idea?

from react-native-blob-util.

@arunim2405 Infact I am also not able to copy file from this directory.
/data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/
Even though I have permission keep failing.

Any solution how you have downloaded file to any other directory?

from react-native-blob-util.

@arunim2405 I am sorry man but honestly I tried that as well not working.
I am not sure how it's working for you.
Are you using Expo? I am not using it.
Is there any way you can show some demo? Honestly I really appreciate your help.
I have also taken access rights before. But it keeps downloading in default directory.

from react-native-blob-util.

@RonRadtke
I think you can breakdown this feature and it will be really helpful.
First supporting for only downlod or upload from default download directory. This will be really good enhancement.

The documentation for sure could use a clean up. You're right about that.
The link you posted is not linking to the correct url.
And it is correct that the path is outside in this example.

Have a look at this part: https://github.com/RonRadtke/react-native-blob-util#android-media-scanner-and-download-manager-support

The outer path is only used if you don't use the addAndroidDownloads, if you're using the DonwnloadManager you need to specify the path within the addAndroidDownloads section.

@RonRadtke I'm seeing this issue in "react-native-blob-util": "0.19.4"

Tried different dirs (DownloadDir, DocumentDir, CacheDir) but getting the same error.
