I’m working on an Audiobook Player that connects to Nextcloud. The idea is to store the audiobooks on a nextcloud server, then use the app to “download” the audiobooks to the device.
Right now though, I’m a little hung up on how to properly manage the downloads. I can easily enough request the files through the document provider api for nextcloud. Nextcloud will then download the files and store them on device. The problem I am having is I don’t know how to allow users to delete the books from their device.
After nextcloud caches the files, I copy them to App storage. The problem with this solution is the nextcloud cache is still intact. So every time a user downloads a book, it’s going to take up twice the storage, unless they manually delete the files from within the nextcloud app.
I would like to either be able to delete the nextcloud cache from within my app, or prevent nextcloud from retaining the files- it downloads the files to a temporary location, then hands the files over to me, and it clears the cache itself.
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
