Allow using a different directory than Documents for local storage
My usecase is that I want workouts to be stored in /sdcard/syncthing directory so I could sync them with my computer. I'd propose that if the pass supplied starts with /, just treat it as absolute, otherwise treat as relative to Documents (current logic).
Relevant bits of code: https://github.com/jonasoreland/runnerup/blob/a2e45e4353cf5421e49f0311c803062a29f4080f/app/src/main/org/runnerup/export/FileSynchronizer.java#L89-L97 https://github.com/jonasoreland/runnerup/blob/a2e45e4353cf5421e49f0311c803062a29f4080f/app/src/main/org/runnerup/export/FileSynchronizer.java#L239-L244
If it's welcome, I could find some time to implement it and do a pull request. Thanks!
The problem is scooped storage in newer Android versions. An app only has access to its specific directories. With older Android than 10 it is possible. This piece of code need to be changed when targeting Android 11 (before next fall) as getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() is not supported then.
Ah I see, thanks for explaining! Quite annoying... I guess feel free to close considering it can't really be solved. I have root anyway so I guess can set up a script mirroring the files to a synced folder.
