Pick & read file without storage permission

Read file contents without requesting storage permissions using SAF.

About this project

An essential project showcasing the implementation of the Storage Access Framework (SAF) to browse and read text or document files. This Java-based Sketchware project teaches developers how to access file streams using DocumentFile and ContentResolver, completely bypassing the need for legacy storage permissions. It's an important structural update for apps targeting modern Android API levels.
