Video renaming on Android 11 / API 30 using MediaStore and ContentValues

The codes below works fine prior to Android 11. I have tested it on Android 9 and it works.
Method to get basic info about the video:

private static void videoRename ( AppCompatActivity activity , VideoModel model , VideosLoader videosLoader ) {
        String videoTitleWithExtension =  model.getVideoTitle ( );
        int extensionIndex = videoTitleWithExtension.lastIndexOf ( '.' );
        final String videoTitleWithoutExtension;
        String extensionValue;
        if ( extensionIndex > 0 ) {
            videoTitleWithoutExtension = videoTitleWithExtension.substring ( 0 , extensionIndex );
            extensionValue = videoTitleWithExtension.substring ( extensionIndex, videoTitleWithExtension.length ( ) );
        } else {
            videoTitleWithoutExtension = videoTitleWithExtension;
            extensionValue = "";
        }

        showSelectedVideoRenameDialog ( activity , videoTitleWithoutExtension, model.getPath ( ) , extensionValue, model.getVideoId ( ) , videosLoader );

}

passing data to the dialog , then showing the dialog:

private static void showSelectedVideoRenameDialog ( final AppCompatActivity activity, final String videoTitleWithoutExtension , final String videoPath, final String extensionValue, final long videoId , final VideosLoader videosLoader ) {
        final AlertDialog dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder ( activity ).create ( );
        LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from ( activity );
        View v = inflater.inflate ( R.layout.layout_video_rename, null );
        final TextInputEditText input = v.findViewById ( R.id.video_rename_edit_text );
        input.setText ( videoTitleWithoutExtension );
        input.setHint ( videoTitleWithoutExtension );

        Button confirmButton = v.findViewById ( R.id.renameButton );
        Button cancelButton = v.findViewById ( R.id.cancelButton );

        dialog.setView ( v );
        cancelButton.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener ( ) {
            @Override
            public void onClick ( View p1 ) {
                dialog.dismiss ( );
            }
        } );

        confirmButton.setOnClickListener ( new View.OnClickListener ( ) {
            @Override
            public void onClick ( View p1 ) {
                final String typedName = input.getText ( ).toString ( );
                final File originalName = new File ( videoPath );
                final File newFileName = new File ( videoPath.replace ( videoTitleWithoutExtension , typedName ) );
                if ( typedName.length ( ) == 0 ) {
                    input.setError ( "Name can't be empty" );
                } else if ( newFileName.exists ( ) ) {
                    input.setError ( "File name already exists" );
                } else {
                    String newTitleWithExtension = typedName + extensionValue;
                    originalName.renameTo ( newFileName );
                    String newFilePath = newFileName.toString ( );
                    videosLoader.updateOnVideoRenamed ( videoId , newFilePath , newTitleWithExtension );
                    videosLoader.updateOnMediaStoreChanged ( );

                    dialog.dismiss ( );
                }
            }
        } );
        dialog.show ( );
}

Finally, updating the values using ContentValues and MediaStore:

@Override
    public void updateOnVideoRenamed ( long id, String newPath, String newTitle ) {
        try {
            ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues(2);
            contentValues.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, newPath);
            contentValues.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, newTitle);
            mContext.getContentResolver ( ).update ( MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI , contentValues, MediaStore.Video.Media._ID + "=" + id, null );
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Toast.makeText( mContext , "Can't rename on Android 11: " + " " + e.getMessage() , Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
}

This final step obviously throws the java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.
I tried the answer here but still in vain. I might be missing something.
P.S. Renaming also fails for the videos inside folders I created using the default Samsung File manager.

First of all, I had to add this permission to manifest in order to be able to access all files on device:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Then I added this line to application tag:

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

Now after you change the name of the video, you need to update the media store with the new name:

if (ContextUtils.isAndroidR()) {
            Uri mUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI , videoId);
            try {
                ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues(3);
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.IS_PENDING, 1);
                mContext.getContentResolver().update(mUri, contentValues, null, null);
                contentValues.clear();
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, newTitle);
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.IS_PENDING, 0);
                mContext.getContentResolver().update(mUri, contentValues, null, null);
            } catch (Exception exception) {
                if (ContextUtils.isAndroidQ()) {
                    RecoverableSecurityException recoverableSecurityException;
                    if (exception instanceof RecoverableSecurityException) {
                        recoverableSecurityException = (RecoverableSecurityException) exception;
                    } else {
                        ContextUtils.makeShortToast( "Maybe make sure you request permissions first?" );
                    }
                    try {
                        ContentResolver contentResolver = mContext.getContentResolver();
                        ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
                        contentValues.put(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.IS_PENDING, 1);
                        contentResolver.update(mUri, contentValues, null, null);
                        contentValues.clear();
                        contentValues.put(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, newTitle);
                        contentValues.put(MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.IS_PENDING, 0);
                        contentResolver.update(mUri, contentValues, null, null);
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        ContextUtils.makeShortToast( String.valueOf(e) );
                    }
                } else {
                    throw new RuntimeException ( exception.getMessage() , exception );
                }
            }
        } else {
            ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues(2);
            contentValues.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA, newPath);
            contentValues.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DISPLAY_NAME, newTitle);
            Uri extUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
            mContext.getContentResolver().update(extUri , contentValues, MediaStore.Video.Media._ID + "=" + videoId, null);
        }

This is how I got renaming a video on Android 11 to work with no issues.
