A small app to regain access to your files and folders.
Pre-built binaries are available from here.
You can build the project by opening it via Android Studio, but you can also build it form terminal like so Assuming you've already setup JDK, Gradle & Android SDK in your system, run the following command in your terminal within the source directory:
./gradlew assembleDebug
.\gradlew assembleDebug
the resulting apk can be found in the following directory app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk. You can send it to your device then install it or through ADB with this command adb install <path-to-apk>.
After installation simply open the App named Explorer from your launcher. Then, you can access whichever file you need.
The codebase is pretty much self-explanatory & short, but as a general description, it works by opening the Android DocumentsUI Component via an Intent without the need of Root. You can read more about it here. Or if you're technically inclined, explore the source code from the Android Open Source Project here.
The project includes a CI/CD workflow (Github Action) that can serve a base for building your next Android workflow. you can check it here
