Apps targeting Android Q – API 29 by default are given a filtered view into external storage. A quick fix for that is to add this code in the AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest ... >
    <!-- This attribute is "false" by default on apps targeting Android Q. -->
    <application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ... >
     ...
    </application>
</manifest>
