storage-chooser: [BUG] Android 11 Crash

This library seems to crash on Android 11. Is it planned to fix this? I dont get this error on other Android Versions

No need for an alternative. Someone else (sfilmak) fixed it. I forked his fork, tagged it and created a release for it. Since the original library uses jitpack, it’s really easy to switch over to use your own fork of it. I just changed out: com.github.codekidX:storage-chooser:2.0.4.4

and replaced it with: com.github.mveroukis:storage-chooser:2.0.4.4a

The “a” at the end is my own tag, otherwise it would continue using the same version as the original. Now my app works in Android 11. As a bonus, it also uses newer versions of it’s dependencies and targets API 30.

Good idea @mveroukis The commit https://github.com/sfilmak/storage-chooser/commit/c43a6b534855da6b2e87fa0f25d0c67d40c84fbf contains other changes that broke my build. I have forked and uploaded a commit with the only change that fixes the crash on Android 11 devices. Here’s the my version:

https://github.com/NoelChew/storage-chooser/commit/f0ffc9ce5df35c9597eebc3b819093b74136e082
