Can't open video on android 12 that was captured by MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE

    Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE).also { takeVideoIntent ->
        takeVideoIntent.resolveActivity(packageManager)?.also {
            startActivityForResult(takeVideoIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_VIDEO)
        }
    }


    override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
    
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_TAKE_VIDEO && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            var videoUri = data?.data
            val intent = Intent(this, AddActivity::class.java)
            intent.putExtra(VIDEO_URI, videoUri);
            startActivity(intent)
        }

    }

In the second Activity when I try to open the uri of the video in videoview I'm Getting this exeption:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Movies/.pending-1648411601-VID_20220320_200641.mp4: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

I found a solution that solves the problem: adding to menifest MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

But google play doesn't accept my app with this permission.

What are the alternatives if any?

Ideally, this would be one activity, not two, using fragments or composables for the individual screens.

However, if you absolutely need to get the Uri to another activity in your app:

  • Attach it to the Intent you use to start that other activity via setData()

  • Add Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION to the Intent

val intent = Intent(this, AddActivity::class.java)
    .setData(videoUri)
    .addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION)

AddActivity would call getData() on the Intent to retrieve the Uri.

Without this approach, AddActivity has no rights to access the content.
