Storage activity reporter

• I am using the latest version of App Manager
• I have searched the issues and haven't found anything relevant
• I have read the docs

Describe a description of the new feature

You should add a storage activity reporter. The app should notify users about what another app is doing with its storage permissions. For instance, if an app opens a file, edits it, or makes changes, the app should report these actions to the user.

Describe the solution you'd like

The app should allow users to select which apps they want to receive storage activity reports for. I would prefer this feature to be implemented on the app info page, where it can display the activities performed. Additionally, enabling support for multiple users would be a plus point.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I think there is none

Additional context

I believe this will allow users to monitor proprietary app activities and look for suspicious or malicious behavior. Additionally, you can also make monitor other activities( internet usage , accessibility usage etc etc).

The storage permission does not offer such a feature. While it's possible to do that to some extent using hooks, it's beyond this project (App Manager does not intend to leverage any zygisk/*posed/frida features). An alternative is using the proc file system (root only) to figure out the files opened by a process, but it may not cover files accessed through content providers since it does not follow the Linux specifications.

I believe this will allow users to monitor proprietary app activities and look for suspicious or malicious behavior.

You can log such activities via framework hooks, but finding malicious behavior will still be difficult.

Additionally, you can also make monitor other activities( internet usage , accessibility usage etc etc).
