Fix misconceptions about URI permission grants via Intents#55
Merged
Conversation
FLAG_GRANT_*_URI_PERMISSION is not used to request URI read/write permissions. Those flags are used to signal the OS that the Intent sender wishes to grant the receiver of an Intent the permission to access content: URIs within the Intent. The documentation of ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT doesn't mention these flags and unconditionally states: > All selected documents are returned to the calling application with persistable read and write permission grants.
They are not supported by the ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE Intent. The intended behavior is how ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE works by default.
