Saving file shows Permission Denied though permission granted

Question

I'm saving image from glide to device. I'm asking for permission in first App run cause that's what my app do.

 final File myDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/DesiJewellery/");
public void saveImage(Bitmap bitmap, String img_title) {

    fname = img_title;
    myDir.mkdirs();
    File image = new File(myDir, fname);


    FileOutputStream outStream;
    if (image.exists()) {
        image.delete();
    }
    try {
        outStream = new FileOutputStream(image);
        bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, outStream);
        outStream.flush();
        outStream.close();
        success = true;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    if (success) {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Design saved - " + img_title, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else {
       // Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Something went wrong.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
    // this one to show in gallery:

}

It's working fine in emulator, but in real device it shows

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/DesiJewellery/m_aad14.jpg (Permission denied)

Permission Check. I run it on MainActivity.

public void isStoragePermissionGranted() {

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
        if (checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && checkSelfPermission(android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
                == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

        } else {
            requestPermissions(new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
            requestPermissions(new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
        }
    } else {

    }
}

P.S.- I have 2 Real devices. It's working in Mashmallow and Nougat Emulator but Problem is in Only Oreo.

There's nowhere in code snippet, the code responsible for permission check. Please add all the relevant code. Without it, we can only guess what's wrong here. — Jay, Oct 18 '18 at 05:21
Could you please explain what permissions, you have acquired? — Anu Bhalla, Oct 18 '18 at 05:21

You should add WRITE_EXTERNAL_PERMISSION in Android Mainifest like below :

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

You can try the following:

AsyncTask fileTask = new AsyncTask() {
    @Override
    protected Object doInBackground(Object[] objects) {
File directory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "MyApplication");
if (!directory.exists()) {
                directory.mkdirs();
            }
Random generator = new Random();
int n = 10000;
n = generator.nextInt(n);
String name = " "+n+".jpg";
File pictureFile = new File(directory, name);
pictureFile.createNewFile();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(pictureFile);
   finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
   out.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
 }
};
fileTask.execute();

Don't just copy paste from anywhere. First, understand the question, and then post the answer. – mukeshsoni Oct 18 '18 at 05:54
I have checked your question and then found it suitable. So posted to you. – Anu Bhalla Oct 18 '18 at 05:55
Have you tried above already? – Anu Bhalla Oct 18 '18 at 05:56
if you have chekced, then you must know that my code is updated version of your code. – mukeshsoni Oct 18 '18 at 05:56
I can't see async task there. Have you used it with async? – Anu Bhalla Oct 18 '18 at 05:57
I don't have to use async. and fyi, Saving Code is absolutely fine. Problem is with runtime permission. – mukeshsoni Oct 18 '18 at 06:00
Yes, I have seen that thing. You might be having directory created in storage also. But No image is saved there, right? – Anu Bhalla Oct 18 '18 at 06:08
