    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE)
    intent.addFlags(
        Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
                or Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION)
    val startDir = "Android%2Fmedia%2Fcom.whatsapp%2FWhatsApp%2FMedia%2.Statuses"
    var uri = intent.getParcelableExtra<Uri>("android.provider.extra.INITIAL_URI")
