The main demo app was still targeting API 29 to avoid scoped storage
restrictions. It is now updated to 34 (like the rest of the demo apps)
and handles scoped storage as it should handle it.
More specifically:
- We need to request READ_MEDIA_... permissions instead of
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE from API33.
- The legacy scoped storage opt-out can be removed
- READ_MEDIA_... permissions don't allow arbitrary file access
if the file doesn't end in a typical media file extension, so
this change adds a remark on the guide page to place samples
in the app-specific directory.
- We also don't have to request permissions for the app-specific
directories.
- Custom json files can't be placed in arbitray local locations
because they don't end in a media file extension, as there is
no way we can request a permission to load them. This means we
can remove the storage request logic in SampleChooserActivity.
