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

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.

did you add Write permission into manifest file? – Shayan Pourvatan Jan 18 '14 at 05:35 — Shayan Pourvatan, Jan 18 '14 at 05:35

This may help you. I face the same issue when writing the file on sdcard. I have set all required permission to write the file but I used the file object like below:

Wrong:

File myFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile()+fileName);

Correct:

File myFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile(), fileName);

That means the path was wrong.

Wrong one needs a separator: `File myFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsoluteFile() + "/" + fileName);` – Eftekhari Jul 19 '16 at 00:45
