title: Android 11 Scoped storage permissions
body: <p>My App use the file paths of images provided by <code>Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()</code> to create albums of photos, but with <strong>Android 11 I won't be able to access directly files</strong>.</p>
  <p>According to the Android developers documentation they recently introduced the <code>MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE</code> permission, but I didn't understand if adding this permission I'm able to continue to access file by Environment or not.</p>
  <p>I tried my application on an Android 11 Virtual device and it seems to work perfectly even without requesting the <code>MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE</code> permission!</p>
  <p>Reading the documentation on Android Developers, it seems that the applications that uses the File API for accessing Photos and Medias only locations can continue to work, but <strong>I'am not sure</strong>.</p>
  <p>Is there anyone who better understood the Android Documentation???</p>
