Howdy mate!

I just touched down into your repo and wanted to use the plugin for getting Storage paths. Although unfortunately I ran into build error at gradle stage. Attached is the stacktrace from Flutter.

I have no good idea of why this happened - being new at Flutter, but maybe you could help fix if plugin issue or give some resolution if an error from my side.

I've added ext_storage: ^1.0.3 to my project, did a flutter get and ran a debug session.

Flutter Android V2 update

Thanks for the plugin!

However, the string value for DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS is wrong, it should be Download (without the s). This makes files created in this directory not show up in the default download folder.

Any planning to migrate to null-safety?

See info here: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/plugin-api-migration

"The plugins ext_storage use a deprecated version of the Android embedding"

How can i avoid this type of error ?

Just Try Simple Code

void _example2() async {
  var path = await ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(ExtStorage.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
  print(path);  // /storage/emulated/0/Pictures
}

https://github.com/yasukotelin/ext_storage/blob/master/lib/ext_storage.dart#L33-L46

Instead of using Platform.isAndroid to check if the current Platform is Android, I'm proposing the following solution:

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart' show defaultTargetPlatform, TargetPlatform;

if (defaultTargetPlatform != TargetPlatform.android) {
    throw UnsupportedError("Only android supported");
}

This will making widget testing with ext_storage easier because in tests, Platform.isAndroid always returns false. Whereas with defaultTargetPlatform != TargetPlatform.android, a tester could use debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride to determine if the test environment is Android vs iOS:

testWidgets('test Android', (WidgetTester tester) async {
    debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride = TargetPlatform.android;
    // Insert Test Code Here
    debugDefaultTargetPlatformOverride = null;

I can submit a PR for this if you would like.

[ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(177)] Unhandled Exception: FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = '/storage/emulated/0/Download/counter.txt' (OS Error: Permission denied, errno = 13)

How about directory for iOS.

• ext_storage does not specify a Swift version and none of the targets (Runner) integrating it have the SWIFT_VERSION attribute set. Please contact the author or set the SWIFT_VERSION attribute in at least one of the targets that integrate this pod.
• :c
  

The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.3.10 and higher.
The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version:
project ':ext_storage' -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.71

I'm using Android Studio 3.5 and gradle 3.5.1.

Change the ext.kotlin_version to 1.3.10 and fixed the problem.

In Android 10, the getExternalPublicStorage API will be deprecated, leading to an error when trying to get the paths.

Instead, methods like getExternalFilesDir() should now be used. Is it realistic for this package to include this change anytime soon?

Thank you so much for your great work!

Why?

• getExternalStorageDirectory and getExternalPublicStorageDirectory is deprecated in API level 29.
• Since path_provider supports it, you may be able to use it instead.
• not supported null safty
• not upgrating pre 1.12 Android projects and old apis.

Hello I'm using

ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(ExtStorage.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS)

String fileDrc=await ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(ExtStorage.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS);
final path= Directory( fileDrc+ "/Reports");

  if (!(await path.exists()))
    path.create();

but I get error

FileSystemException: Creation failed, path = '/storage/emulated/0/Documents/Reports' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2), stack trace: #0
