IndiaAIFounders — I need help searching on mounted drives on Android 9

I need help searching on mounted drives on Android 9

September 8, 2026 at 05:14 PM

I'm currently developing my own app in Java to search for files on external drives connected to an Android TV Box.

Since the device runs an older version of Android (version 9) and this is my first time working with the Android ecosystem, I'm having trouble accessing the external drives, their directories, and files because I'm limited to the features of API level 28.

I've tried using the StorageManager and MediaStore, but I'm not sure if those are the right methods.

How should I go about this?
