                boolean READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;
                boolean WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = grantResults[1] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED;

                if (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE && WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) {
                    // perform action when allow permission success
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(this, "Allow permission for storage access!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Permissions have changed in Android 10 :

External storage access scoped to app files and media

By default, apps targeting Android 10 and higher are given scoped access into external storage, or scoped storage. Such apps can see the following types of files within an external storage device without needing to request any storage-related user permissions [..]

Source: Privacy changes in Android 10

On devices that run Android 10 or higher, you don't need any storage-related permissions to access and modify media files that your app owns, including files in the MediaStore.Downloads collection

If you have

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

in application tag in manifest file then you are done for an Android Q/10 device.

It will behave as it behaved on before 10.

I do not understand why you would have any problem on Android 10.

On Android 11 you should be able to see media files in the usual public directories.
