Saving files to public Download directory

Issue

This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by Ayub

Before Android Q below code worked fine (this has now been deprecated) to access downloads public storage directory:

var publicExternalFilesDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS)

This referred to below path on emulator:

/mnt/sdcard/Download/

Is there any way we can refer to above path safely on Android Q and above
