Muhajir Al-Rajul Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 because the directory Internal Storage > Android > data where the Poweramp data folder (that contains milk preset folder) is inaccessible by File Manager it's empty when I try to open it. I don't know where to put this, because I know this is an issue with Android, not Poweramp. APK visualizations are still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yes, it's an Android issue. Google broke access (again). Some file managers may still be able to access those directories via another loophole, but it's getting harder and harder. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihaspei Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 be able to change the folder that contains .milk presets like playlists folder may solve the problem? 'cause i have an LGQ60 with android 10 and the stock fileanager it's enough to get access to the android folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suspecting this restriction is already there since A12, but file manager apps found a loophole, and now that loophole is patched in A13. I'm trying various file manager apps now to see if any can actually access the android > data directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Each time Google releases a new version of Android, they try to further tighten the ropes around their users' hands. You can still access these areas remotely via ADB/etc. and there are some other working tricks too: https://www.droidwin.com/how-to-access-android-13-data-and-obb-folder-transfer-files-in-them/ Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 @maxmp To prevent these sort of problems becoming more frequent as Google continues to clamp down on third-party app access to the /Android/data/ hierarchy, might it be a good idea to migrate Poweramp's artwork caches and milk-presets to /Android/media/com.maxmpz.audioplayer/ instead? As I understand it, that location is intended to be more generally accessible and ought to eliminate this sort of issue, and it ought to be a quick one-off task to just move the subfolder contents over.

maxmp Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 @andrewilley the presets directory could be settable, but the way SAF works (100-1000x slower vs normal file access), this is not good for the current presets discovery approach. And the direct access only possible in /Android/data/. The folders are accessible for cable connection to computer (File transfer/MTP) and file explorers like Solid Explorer (though not on 13+). I'll try to investigate if Android/media may work for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander71 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The developer updated Solid Explorer a couple days ago, so we can modify the contents of android folder (for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
