I use the Plyer library for filechooser to open the Android file chooser. I request runtime permissions and those seem to be granted when I print the check_permissions.
Filechooser Code:
def file_pop(self):
from android.permissions import request_permissions, Permission,check_permission
request_permissions([Permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE])
if check_permission(Permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE):
print("Permissions granted")
filechooser.open_file(on_selection=self.handle_selection)
On selecting a file I need to copy the file to my application directory to store the same. I do this using shutil library.
shutil.copy(selection[0], self.filename_pfix + "title." + extension)
On doing this while it is working fine in my PC. In my android phone it gives me the following error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Screenshots/20200420_003038.jpg'
I have given Storage permissions to the app. I have asked for runtime permissions as you can see in the code, and I see check_permissions true (again present in the above code).
Can you please help me resolving this issue? The logcat error log around the problem is pasted below:
