StorageHelper

class StorageHelper

Helper class for managing file and media attachments from device storage.

This class provides utilities to:

  • Query files and media from the device's MediaStore

  • Cache remote or content URI files to local storage

  • Parse attachment metadata from content URIs

The class uses Android's MediaStore API to retrieve file information and should be called from a background thread when querying large datasets to avoid blocking the main thread.
