I'am trying to open multiple files relative to a json configuration file in android 4.4 (api level 19),
I used

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT);

intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_OPENABLE);

intent.setType({mime});

this.startActivityForResult(intent, {code});

to let the user find te configuration file, and from there open multiple files that I know the path from the config file.

But i get

Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: 

Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.downloads.DownloadStorageProvider

uri content://com.android.providers.downloads.documents/document/raw:/storage/emulated/0/Download/{relative file}

requires that you obtain access using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or related APIs

I dont want to use user interfaces to open the other files, so I tried adding the following permissions without getting any results

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS "/>

I would rather have the files separated and not in a blob or a zip file

I just tried that, I can get READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, but not MANAGE_DOCUMENTS, and still get Permission denial. im using minSdkVersion 19, so tried with ActivityCompat.requestPermissions

"I'am trying to open multiple files" -- your code is not really related to opening files. If you need to limit the user to files on the filesystem that your app has the ability to access directly, use a file chooser library, not a system Intent like ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT.

ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT only gives you access to exactly the file (or files, if you use EXTRA_ALLOW_MULTIPLE) that the user selects.

You can use ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE to allow the user to select a folder - you'll then get access to all files in that folder (and their subfolders).

ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE was added in API level 21, Forgot to specify, but I'm using minSdkVersion 19, so I cant use that, I think I'll just use zip files :'(

Correct, there's no equivalent pre-API 21.
