AnkiDroid API for adding image to notes for third party apps

[krmanik]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have developed Anki Occlusion app for Android which add images for notes to AnkiDroid. Earlier it was easy to access the path but now the Android/data folder seems hard to access from third party app.

The Image Occlusion feature will be available in later version of AnkiDroid but I think it should be better if we have API for adding image so other developer may find it easier to add images.

Describe the solution you'd like

The API get path and save image to its Android/data folder.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have tried to follow the documentation of Android developer but it is written that it cannot be accessed by third party apps.

Additional context

There's an API endpoint which allows a user to add an image (admittedly but to a note).

Was this unsuitable?

Regarding I/O support, I'm sorry that had to cut I/O from the desktop 2.1.66 release - Glutanimate asked for a little more time. The code is still accessible in the repo though, so once ankidroid/Anki-Android-Backend#294 gets merged, it will be possible for AnkiDroid to expose it in the same way AnkiMobile has.

I have checked the AnkiDroid API and that will do, but I think I should work on the inbuilt feature using desktop code.

No issue with IO on desktop, it can be available in next version. I will implement the IO feature from desktop code for AnkiDroid.
