Implementations§

Source §

impl<'a, R: Runtime> FilePicker<'a, R>

Source

pub fn pick_files( &self, initial_location: Option<&FileUri>, mime_types: &[&str], multiple: bool, ) -> Result<Vec<FileUri>>

Opens a system file picker and returns a read-write URIs.
If no file is selected or the user cancels, an empty vec is returned.

By default, returned URI is valid until the app is terminated. If you want to persist it across app restarts, use AndroidFs::take_persistable_uri_permission.

This provides a standardized file explorer-style interface, and also allows file selection from part of third-party apps or cloud storage.

Removing the returned files is also supported in most cases, but note that files provided by third-party apps may not be removable.

§Args

initial_location :
Indicate the initial location of dialog.
This URI works even without any permissions.
There is no need to use this if there is no special reason.
System will do its best to launch the dialog in the specified entry if it’s a directory, or the directory that contains the specified file if not.
If this is missing or failed to resolve the desired initial location, the initial location is system specific.
This must be a URI taken from following :
mime_types :
The MIME types of the file to be selected.
However, there is no guarantee that the returned file will match the specified types.
If left empty, all file types will be available (equivalent to ["*/*"]).
multiple :
Indicates whether multiple file selection is allowed.

§Support

All.

pub fn pick_file( &self, initial_location: Option<&FileUri>, mime_types: &[&str], ) -> Result<Option<FileUri>>

Opens a system file picker and returns a read-write URI.
If no file is selected or the user cancels, None is returned.

pub fn pick_visual_medias( &self, target: VisualMediaTarget, multiple: bool, ) -> Result<Vec<FileUri>>

Opens a media picker and returns a readonly URIs.
If no file is selected or the user cancels, an empty vec is returned.

By default, returned URI is valid until the app is terminated. If you want to persist it across app restarts, use AndroidFs::take_persistable_uri_permission.

This media picker provides a gallery, sorted by date from newest to oldest.

§Args

target :
The media type of the file to be selected.
Images or videos, or both.
multiple :
Indicates whether multiple file selection is allowed.

§Note

The file obtained from this function cannot retrieve the correct file name using AndroidFs::get_name.
Instead, it will be assigned a sequential number, such as 1000091523.png. And this is marked intended behavior, not a bug.

§Support

This feature is available on devices that meet the following criteria:

Running Android 11 (API level 30) or higher
Receive changes to Modular System Components through Google System Updates

Availability on a given device can be verified by calling FilePicker::is_visual_media_picker_available.
If not supported, this function behaves the same as FilePicker::pick_files.

pub fn pick_contents( &self, mime_types: &[&str], multiple: bool, ) -> Result<Vec<FileUri>>

Opens a file picker and returns a readonly URIs.
If no file is selected or the user cancels, an empty vec is returned.

Returned URI is valid until the app is terminated. Can not persist it.

This works differently depending on the model and version.
Recent devices often have the similar behaviour as FilePicker::pick_visual_medias or FilePicker::pick_files.
In older versions, third-party apps often handle request instead.

§Args

mime_types :
The MIME types of the file to be selected.
However, there is no guarantee that the returned file will match the specified types.
If left empty, all file types will be available (equivalent to ["*/*"]).
multiple :
Indicates whether multiple file selection is allowed.

§Support

pub fn pick_dir( &self, initial_location: Option<&FileUri>, ) -> Result<Option<FileUri>>

Opens a system directory picker, allowing the creation of a new directory or the selection of an existing one, and returns a read-write directory URI. App can fully manage entries within the returned directory.
If no directory is selected or the user cancels, None is returned.

By default, returned URI is valid until the app is terminated. If you want to persist it across app restarts, use AndroidFs::take_persistable_uri_permission.

This provides a standardized file explorer-style interface, and also allows directory selection from part of third-party apps or cloud storage.

pub fn save_file( &self, initial_location: Option<&FileUri>, initial_file_name: impl AsRef<str>, mime_type: Option<&str>, ) -> Result<Option<FileUri>>

Opens a system file saver and returns a writeonly URI.
The returned file may be a newly created file with no content, or it may be an existing file with the requested MIME type.
If the user cancels, None is returned.

By default, returned URI is valid until the app is terminated. If you want to persist it across app restarts, use AndroidFs::take_persistable_uri_permission.

This provides a standardized file explorer-style interface, and also allows file selection from part of third-party apps or cloud storage.

Removing and reading the returned files is also supported in most cases, but note that files provided by third-party apps may not.

§Args

initial_location :
Indicate the initial location of dialog.
This URI works even without any permissions.
There is no need to use this if there is no special reason.
System will do its best to launch the dialog in the specified entry if it’s a directory, or the directory that contains the specified file if not.
If this is missing or failed to resolve the desired initial location, the initial location is system specific.
This must be a URI taken from following :
initial_file_name :
An initial file name.
The user may change this value before creating the file.
If no extension is present, the system may infer one from mime_type and may append it to the file name. But this append-extension operation depends on the model and version.
mime_type :
The MIME type of the file to be saved.
If this is None, MIME type is inferred from the extension of initial_file_name (not file name by user input) and if that fails, application/octet-stream is used.
