# Bug Report
Issue when reading text file from Android Download folder with Android 11
## Problem
I have an Ionic 5 app that uses this plugin to read text files from the
Download folder on Android devices. On devices running Android 11 it does not
work. Devices running Android 9 do work - have not tried on Android 10.
### What is expected to happen?
App should be able to read in text file from Android's Download folder
### What does actually happen?
The promise for readAsText() returns null
## Information
<!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and
reproduce the problem -->
Run on devices with Android 11
### Command or Code
<!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? -->
Ionic app is using @ionic-native/file/ngx as a wrapper for the
cordova-plugin-file plugin.
```
const path = this.file.externalRootDirectory + 'Download';
this.file.readAsText(path, 'foo.txt').then((file) => {
console.log('process file');
}).catch((e) => {
console.log('error '+ e);
});
```
Again this works for Android 9 devices (have not been able to try on a
Android 10 device) but not 11.
