Saving in the downloads directory doesnt show the file, only in File Manager

[BogdanHossu]

I am using RN 0.34

When I am saving one file I am specifying the download folder, the file appears in the file manager on downloads folder but not in the actual downloads "app". Is there a solution for this?

Have you scanned the file with 'fs.scanFile' ? On android you should do it every time change media database.

Sorry for not mentioning this, yes I am doing that: RNFetchBlob.fs.scanFile([{path: imageLocation, mime: info.headers['Content-Type']}]);

Looks like media scanner can not add files to Downloads app, it can only add files to media apps (for example, Gallery). But you can try to use Download Manager, I think files downloaded by Download Manager will appear in Downloads app.
