How to use status folder for WhatsApp status saver app in android 11 scoped storage

0 votes
Hello, I've created a WhatsApp status-saver app. I am unable to access the user's state in the app due to Google's introduction of scoped storage in Android 11. To accomplish this, I utilized MANAGE EXTERNAL STORAGE, but I am unable to publish the app to Google Play using this. I've observed a couple of apps requesting access to the .status folder using some sort of permission. What steps should I take to do that?

Request the user to give permission to the WhatsApp status storage folder.

private void checkWhatsAppPermission(){
    // Choose a directory using the system's file picker.
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE);
    // Optionally, specify a URI for the directory that should be opened in
    // the system file picker when it loads.

    Uri wa_status_uri = Uri.parse("content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/tree/primary%3AAndroid%2Fmedia/document/primary%3AAndroid%2Fmedia%2Fcom.whatsapp%2FWhatsApp%2FMedia%2F.Statuses");
    intent.putExtra(DocumentsContract.EXTRA_INITIAL_URI, wa_status_uri);
    startActivityForResult(intent, 10001);
}
