Android Media Files Sharing

Name: android-media-files-sharing
Author: krutikjain

When To Use

Use this skill when the request is about: android file sharing, photo picker android app, fileprovider setup android.
Primary outcome: Use modern Android file, media, picker, FileProvider, and share-sheet APIs with minimal permissions.
Reach for this skill when the core problem is content URIs, share-sheet flows, picker choice, or app-to-app file exchange. Use android-permissions-activity-results only when the hard part is the runtime permission flow itself.

Workflow

Start with the asset movement path: pick existing media, open a document, create/export a file, capture new content, or share app-owned content to another app.
Choose the narrowest platform surface first: Photo Picker, SAF contracts, FileProvider, or chooser-based sharing before considering broad storage permissions.
Keep file ownership and URI grants explicit with app-private storage, MIME types, temporary grants, and stable authorities.
Validate return flows, absent-capability fallbacks, and recipient-app interoperability instead of testing only the happy path.
Hand off runtime permission complexity or deeper hardening only after the URI and sharing contract is correct.

Guardrails

Prefer Photo Picker, SAF, and chooser APIs over broad media or storage permissions where possible.
Share content with content:// URIs and temporary grants, never raw file paths.
Keep exported authorities, MIME types, and cache cleanup explicit.
Treat recipients outside your app as untrusted; validate what leaves the app and what comes back.

Anti-Patterns

Requesting broad media or storage access when Photo Picker or SAF is enough.
Sharing file:// paths or world-readable files instead of FileProvider URIs.
Assuming every recipient app handles every MIME type or URI permission correctly.
Mixing permission-flow design with file-sharing contract design until both become unclear.

Review Focus

Picker/SAF/FileProvider/chooser selection.
MIME type, URI authority, and grant lifecycle correctness.
Minimal-permission media access.
Recipient-app interoperability and cleanup of temporary files.

Examples

Happy path

Scenario: Attach and share a task snapshot using the least-privilege API.
Command: cd examples/orbittasks-compose && ./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest

Edge case

Scenario: Handle absent picker support or denied media capabilities in the XML fixture.
Command: cd examples/orbittasks-xml && ./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest

Failure recovery

Scenario: Separate media/file flows from permission-only or networking-only requests.
Command: python3 scripts/eval_triggers.py --skill android-media-files-sharing

Done Checklist

The platform surface is narrower than a broad storage permission where possible.
URI authorities, MIME types, and temporary grants are explicit.
Picker and share-sheet fallbacks are covered.
Permission-only work is handed off instead of conflated with the sharing contract.
