java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/file (Permission denied)

Question

07-21 05:47:51.572: W/System.err(693): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/sdcard/file(Permission denied)

My code:

    private static final String savedRecords= 
        Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/file";

    Log.i(tag, "try enter");
    out = new BufferedOutputStream( new FileOutputStream(savedRecords));
    Log.i(tag, "write?");

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>

over 6000 questions about "java.io.FileNotFoundException", but nothing including "Permission denied"

why is Permission denied, when is included in AndroidManifest.xml

If you're on 4.4, read here: http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes Basically you can no longer read and write anywhere on the drive. — Gabe Sechan, Jul 21 '14 at 06:22

did you use USB for debugging?

note that when you use USB for debugging, external storage is disabled.

thus,make sure that your device is in "Charge Only" mode. not in "Disk Drive" mode.

not using debugging, just using run. target name: android 2.2 platform: 2.2 api level 8 cpu/abi: arm(armeabi) however usb for debugging rings a bell. is it a default setting in the emulator? – Michael Bridges Jul 21 '14 at 07:18
