The following article mentions that Android 11 allows for usage of the File API (under the title Access files using direct file paths and native libraries).

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage

I would like more information on this. Does this refer to MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission or does it speak in general. If it does not mean MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission then what does it mean exactly?

1. If I use Storage Access Framework to persist a path. After persistence, can I use the File class to create and save a file in that persistent path using the File class? For example:

 File file = new File(filePath);
 FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file, false);
 OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(os);
 out.write(downloadedSubtitles);
 out.close();

2. Can I use the File class to read a file within the persisted path?
3. Can I use file:// paths?

I also have different related question. Can I use the File class with the code above to write files into the app's folder?

Thank you.
