Android 13 stroge write permission issue

[TeaqariaWTF]

Description : If you change the download file download location on Android devices, the download does not start

App Version : 1.4.3

OS Version : Android 13

If you add multiple download links but select the option to download one file at a time, the other files will not automatically start downloading.

@TeaqariaWTF You can upgrade to the latest version and try again.

[TeaqariaWTF]

@monkeyWie Sorry, my mistake.
I wrote the application version wrong.
I am using version 1.4.3

[monkeyWie]

Okay, I will check it.

[monkeyWie]

I've tried to reproduce both issues but neither reproduced, see below:

I have a custom ROM running Android 13 (Paranoid)
The download does not start when the download folder changes.

You can see it in this video : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-RklSga-0rGWEdkJNE2DGlk1N74Gmcpc/view?usp=drivesdk

I wonder if it would help if I gave you a log file?
Maybe we can find the error this way

[TeaqariaWTF]

The first problem may be that my bug actually wants a feature, rather than a bug.

When the active download is paused and the download feature is given to a different file, after the download is completed, the paused file will not continue to download and manual intervention is required.

This video is a bit long, I apologize for the inconvenience

I hope this will help

@TeaqariaWTF Thank you for the more detail, the first problem looks like an Android storage permissions issue, I'm not sure but it's most likely a problem with your ROM, can you provide the following log files, they are located in the app log directory (Android/data/com.gopeed/files/logs) find the core.log and crash.log files, may be it can found some reasons.

And the secondly, It is indeed a feature for paused task manually.

[TeaqariaWTF]

core.log

I didn't add the crash.log file because it is empty

[monkeyWie]

I've seen this log, it is indeed a storage permissions issue, see below:

open /storage/emulated/0/Log/Loki.S02E04.Heart.of.the.TVA.1080p.DSNP.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb.mkv: operation not permitted

There's nothing I can do about that, maybe it's a bug in the file_picker library.

[monkeyWie]

Maybe I can build a new apk file with the latest file_picker and test it with your device.

[TeaqariaWTF]

I'm glad we found the source of the problem.
I can test to solve the problem.

I would also like to report another problem, when downloading large files I leave the app running in the background, the download stops automatically after a while

[monkeyWie]

I build an apk with the latest file_picker, please test it.

Oh, unfortunately, this issue may not be solved for a while, I'm not an Android expert, this issue will keep open and I hope to get help from others.

[TeaqariaWTF]

If I change the download folder to /storage/emulated/0/Download/Gopeed the problem is solved.

But it still won't download to /storage/emulated/Gopeed
I wonder if I can change the default download folder

Can you update it to /storage/emulated/0/Download/Gopeed

I have meet the same problem.

[monkeyWie]

I found some key information, refer to: https://pub.dev/packages/permission_handler#faq.
Android 13 have been deprecated external storage permissions, So this issue cannot be solved unless using the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, but I won't do this!

Fortunately, the Download directory is still available. And I'd like to explain why I don't set a default directory because I'm going to follow up on the official Android storage improvements, for giving better protection to app and user data on external storage.

[TeaqariaWTF]

So is there a solution for the problem that the application stops working in the background?

[monkeyWie]

@TeaqariaWTF I will add a progress notification bar when application in the background, but still, due to Android's mechanism, there is no guarantee that the app will be killed, you may need this: Don't kill my app!

[monkeyWie]

So is there a solution for the problem that the application stops working in the background?

v1.4.4 released, you can refer to this PR, it had improved background working.
