I want to create an SQLite database in which data is stored that the user entered in my app.

Reading this post, I opted for

string dir = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);

When I try to write to this folder, I get the following error:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/data/user/0/MyApp.Android/files' is denied.

Is it "normal" that this folder is not writable? I tried it on a clean Android device which developers functionality enabled.

If this folder should not be used, which one should I use instead?

Thank you very much!

Edit: I'm not sure yet if my problem is related to another post as I seem to have problems writing to ANY directory on the device.

do you have the correct permissions set in your manifest? – Jason Apr 26 '18 at 01:43
@Jason I have requested all possible rights just to make sure. Is that what you mean? – tmighty Apr 26 '18 at 06:48
The path should be `/data/data/package_name/databases`. – Robbit Apr 27 '18 at 06:56
