/storage/emulated/0/Notes/ (No such file or directory)?

Question

I tried this link:

How to create text file and insert data to that file on Android

But, it says "No such file or directory". Can anybody help me please? Thanks in advance!

You must first ask runtime permission to write external directory. Just declaring permission in manifest isn't enough. Starting from android 6 you must ask runtime permission. — Bek, Feb 18 '20 at 03:18
Thanks for this comments. I already added this to the manifest and uses latest version — Pakz, Feb 18 '20 at 03:28

---- Updated answer----

I think you can't create a directory inside the internal storage of the device. Except you've a root access for the app. You can only create the directory inside your app private folder within the following path String path = getFilesDir().

you can use like this below -

File mydir = context.getDir("mydirectory", Context.MODE_PRIVATE); //Creating an internal dir;
File fileWithinMyDir = new File(mydir, "myAwesomeFile"); //Getting a file within the dir.
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fileWithinMyDir); //Use the stream as usual to write into the file.

getDir(StringName, int mode) method to create or access directories in internal storage.

/storage/emulated/0/Notes/ will always return No such file or directory except device is rooted and dir.mkDirs() will always return false for this path.

Hope this will help you.

What do you consider to be the last Android version? – blackapps Feb 18 '20 at 10:17
`/storage/emulated/0/Notes/ will always return No such file or directory` No. It is always ok. Except for Android Q. – blackapps Feb 18 '20 at 10:18
`think you can't create a directory inside the internal storage of the device` Even under Android Q one can using getExternalFilesDir(). – blackapps Feb 18 '20 at 10:20
