So, I tried to run the AppJCenterOpenStreetMapDemo2 example. It ran
fine on the LDPlayer emulator, which runs on Android 9. However, when
I attempted to run the same app on my real device - an Asus ROG 3
running on Android 10 - it failed to grant the
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, even though I
had already pressed 'Accept' when the permission dialog popped up. Any
ideas on how to fix this issue?

Just update the AndroidManifest.xml with these values...
1- add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
2- change from:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i <uses-
permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="28"/>to

permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
tools:remove="android:maxSdkVersion" tools:ignore="ScopedStorage"/>

Thanks, it worked. However considering the recent changes made to the
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission, I wonder if OpenStreetMap example
will still function properly with higher versions of Android.
