Instructions

  • Select a directory location you'd like to access from the dropdown menu.
  • Tap 'Open' to request permission and then display the contents of the directory.

Build Requirements

Using this sample requires the Android N Developer Preview and the Xamarin.Android N Web Preview, as well as at least Android Build Tools v24.0.0 rc1.
