Android Exception : java.io.IOException: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) [duplicate]

Question

For some strange reason, am constantly facing an issue with different types of Android devices, for saving the captured images on the device storage.

Here, is the detailed error log, of what, actually am getting.

java.io.IOException: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:940) at com.parkhya.pick_for_shareAflash.HomeActivity.resizeImage(HomeActivity.java:456) at com.parkhya.pick_for_shareAflash.HomeActivity.onActivityResult(HomeActivity.java:393) Caused by: libcore.io.ErrnoException: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:933) 

Although, all the other Android apps, like, Instagram and others, are able to save the camera clicked images on the devices. Anybody, can you please suggest, what should I do, in order for my app, to save the camera pictures in sdcard.

Answer 1

please add the permission for Allows an application to write to external storage.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> 

Allows an application to read from external storage.

Any app that declares the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is implicitly granted this permission.

This permission is enforced starting in API level 19. Before API level 19, this permission is not enforced and all apps still have access to read from external storage. You can test your app with the permission enforced by enabling Protect USB storage under Developer options in the Settings app on a device running Android 4.1 or higher.
