/dev/null/Download ? ("Download diretcory could not be created or is not writeable")

[ghost]

Before creating an issue

1. Make sure you are running the latest version of Yalp Store. Check here.: YalpStore version 0.32 (F-Droid)
2. Search for similar issues here. /done
3. Send developer a bug report using Yalp's built-in crash tool. Or go to Yalp's About page and tap on the developer's email. This creates a email with your device info and recent logs attached. Will send a bug report with the issue number as subject

Expected behaviour

Using YalStore as second app source next to F-Droid I wanted to install one App only available via PlayStore. After providing my google credentials and choosing "download" I expected a download process.

Actual behaviour

I got ""Download diretcory could not be created or is not writeable". Under Settings -> Download directory I have /dev/null/Downloads which I even can not change (just deleting "Download" is possible bot not setting a folder or a path).

Info about your device

• Samsung Galaxy S2 gt-i9100
• Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1-2017-12-13-nightly-i9100)

The /dev/null/ part comes from your OS (getExternalStorageDirectory()). Since its a nightly, it is not very surprising. WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission lets Yalp Store put files into that "external storage", but your OS says the path to that storage is /dev/null/. Not much can be done here.
