Android Question List files in "Downloads" and copy a file to "DirInternal"

[vecino]

Hi, I need to list the files in the "Downloads" folder so I can copy some of them to my application directory.

I have found several similar threads and they seem to have changed a lot in a short time on the permissions issue between versions and I am a bit confused.

I just need to list the "Downloads" directory and choose one of them.
My app will not be uploaded to "google play store".

What do you recommend?
Thank you very much.

Google seems intent on dumbing down Android to the point of uselessnes to me. I think of my devices as little computers and I want a proper file system on them, not the limited tortuous things that Google offers and that I don't understand, ContentChooser, FileProvider, ... o_O I'm getting old...
