How can I view creation time/date in Android version?

[aneruhfos]

Good day,

have used Total Commander 9.51 on Windows 10 (20H2) to copy local directories and files to my mobile devices: Android 10 (Redmi Note 9) and Android 11 (Google Pixel 5 and OnePlus 8 Pro).

But the problem it Total Commander Android (3.11) doesn't show creation time/date on Android devices, only modification time. But I want to keep all my timestamps of my directories and files stored on my Windows 10 PC on Android.

Sorry, this isn't currently supported. Maybe someone knows a file manager which supports it?

Can you add the support please?

I have tested other file manager apps*** like this. I can confirm they do not show creation time/date for directories and files. Only modification time.

***
MiXplorer 6.49.5
Android 10 and Android 11 default file manager
Material Files 1.1.4
Cx File Explorer 1.4.6
X-plore File Manager 4.24.03
Solid Explorer 2.8.7
FX File Explorer 8.0.1.0
Amaze File Manager 3.5.2

When I look at a file in MiXplorer, I can see:
- a Used date
- a Modified date
- a Changed date
- and a Accessed date

Here is a screenshot of a file in MIXplorer on my Android v13 phone:

Android OS is able to store so 4 dates for a files ?!
For info, Windows can only store 3 date for a file: Created, Modified, Accessed
Which dates does Total Commander for Android display ?

I can only see 2 in your screenshot (modified and accessed).

I can see 3: Modified, changed and Accessed.

I wonder what the difference between Modified and Changed is??? Is Changed the same as Created in Windows? - the date the file was first put in the location.

Acording to your screenshot Used is the used space, not a date.

Sorry your are fully correct they are 3 in MIXplorer: Modified, changed and Accessed
I was very surprised as I though Android OS only had a modified date.

Windows OS has 3 dates for files: Created, Modified and Accessed.

Since API 26 / Android 8.0 there's this:
