Methods to streamline bulk media operations.
The new storage model being built in Android Q and R means that most apps will now be limited to read access to most media items on the device. This change adds a way for developers to request a user to grant narrow access to specific media items. This supports operations like requesting write access, trash/untrash, favorite/unfavorite, and outright delete. Once the user confirms the action in the dialog, the action is carried out with no further action needed by the caller. We transport the set of Uris through a ClipData to pave the way for shifting to ParceledListSlice in a future release. Since there's many permutations of strings needed, generate them with a simple Python script to ensure they stay consistent.
