    Description

      Hello,

      QDir seems to have a problem to list entries into Android/Download directory, but only from Android 10 (Specifically, on a OnePlus smartphone).

      This code returns always an empty "entries" list:

      // Of course, this is added to manifest:
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE "/>
      ...
      
      // Runtime permissions, as suggested by Android guidelines
      const QVector<QString> permissions({"android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE",
                                              "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"});
          for(const QString &permission : permissions){
              auto result = QtAndroid::checkPermission(permission);
              if(result == QtAndroid::PermissionResult::Denied){
                  QtAndroid::requestPermissionsSync(QStringList({permission}));
              }
          }
      
      // Try to read entries
      QDir directory;
      directory.setPath(QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::DownloadLocation));
      auto entries = directory.entryInfoList({"*.bin", "*.json"}, QDir::NoDotAndDotDot | QDir::AllEntries);
      

      But this works fine on older Android versions with others smartphones.
      (and of course i ensured to put *.bin files into Download)

       

      EDIT Sept 14h 2020: the pb is still here on a OnePlus 8 even with Qt 5.15.1:

      ALL files in "/storage/emulated/0/Download" = ()
