I'm creating a basic app which starts the camera activity and then retrieves the image clicked.
I have necessary permissions in the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
My problem is the app was working fine in api level 22. I updated my phone to level 23 a few days ago and now the same source code is giving me this error:
E/BitmapFactory: Unable to decode stream: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/SAT Practice App/IMG_20160113_123753.jpg: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
There are a lot of similar questions in stackoverflow, but most of them only talk about granting permissions which I already have in my manifest.
I personally checked the folder and found that the file exists. What I might be missing?
Here's my activity class for the reference:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// Activity request codes
private static final int CAMERA_CAPTURE_IMAGE_REQUEST_CODE = 100;
public static final int MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE = 1;
// directory name to store captured images
private static final String IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NAME = "SAT Practice";
private Uri fileUri; // file url to store image
private ImageView imgPreview;
private Button btnCapturePicture;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
imgPreview = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imgPreview);
btnCapturePicture = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnCapturePicture);
/**

*/
btnCapturePicture.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// capture picture
captureImage();
}
});
}

}
@Override

super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);

} catch (NullPointerException e) {

}
