Cannot read all files from USB drive

See original GitHub issue

Problem

Not all files are returned when we try to read usb via listFiles(). I have an usb with 1000+ pictures and this method return only a part of them. For different file sizes it returns a different amount, so I guess this might be related to some buffer size or any other memory related stuff. I tried this with different USB and SD cards(connected via OTG adapter) on different Andorid 11 devices.

Code where problem occurs

val currentFs = storageDevice.partitions[0].fileSystem
val rootDir = fileSystem.rootDirectory
val files = rootDir.listFiles()

You need to download libusb 1.0.25 and set libusb.dir to the path where you extracted the source tarball. See gitlab ci for more info. https://github.com/magnusja/libaums/blob/566a5a9c8dd64a32fc1627b5d7de383d79abe12d/.github/workflows/android.yml#L16-L19

@magnusja @vasiledoe Anything new with this issue? I am facing the same thing, I have 1k images and the listFiles() is only returning 300 of them . Update: Version v0.7.1 does not have this issue and it’s working fine for me.
