getExternalStorageDirectories( ) returns empty string #106498
Description
Previously, getExternalStorageDirectories returns list of directories with empty (or null) parameter, and the first element is same as getExternalStorageDirectory. Now, getExternalStorageDirectories() returns empty string.
I found changes (#5959) recently in path_provider_android.dart as below,
@override
Future<List<String>?> getExternalStoragePaths({
StorageDirectory? type,
}) async {
//////////// removed below return statement ////////////////
return methodChannel.invokeListMethod<String>(
'getExternalStorageDirectories',
<String, dynamic>{'type': type?.index},
);
//////////// added below return statement ////////////////
return type == null
? <String>[]
: (await _api.getExternalStoragePaths(_convertStorageDirectory(type)))
.cast<String>();
}
is this the cause of the issue ? Is there any workaround to get the list of directories as before?
