Rename file of the Mediastore which is created by app in android 10. Working on Android API 30 but shows error in API 29

Question

Here, this renameFile(..) func is working in Android API 30. But, it is not working in Android API 29 and shows the error like :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentExceptio

Answer 1

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Movement of content://media/external/file/116 which isn't part of well-defined collection not allowed

So it is for Android Q not allowed if you use the collection;

Uri extUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);

But is is allowed for a 'well-defined collection' like:

Uri extUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
// Use  "Pictures/MyFolder" for RELATIVE_PATH

I leave it to you to find other well-defined collections.

Why this is only for Android Q i dont know.

You can see the message in the java file: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/providers/MediaProvider/+/refs/heads/master/src/com/android/providers/media/MediaProvider.java

Quote:

     // We only support movement under well-defined collections
        switch (match) {
            case AUDIO_MEDIA_ID:
            case VIDEO_MEDIA_ID:
            case IMAGES_MEDIA_ID:
            case DOWNLOADS_ID:
                break;
            default:
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("Movement of " + uri
                        + " which isn't part of well-defined collection not allowed");
        }
