In one of my activities, I save an image in my App's directory subfolder and in the next activity I read the .png file and include it in a pdf file with some other data and save it in my App's directory, Everything worked fine until I updated my phone from Android 10 to 11. Now I get this error:
E/main: error java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/IranianMasonryBuildings/sjdnnd -- Fri Feb 12 11:49:36 GMT+03:30 2021.pdf: open failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)
I tried many fixes online but none of them seem to work.
My manifest includes theses permissions and also the requestLegacyExternalStorage = true
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_INTERNAL_STORAGE" />
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion are set to 29, I tried to change the API level to 28 as mentioned in some answers to other questions but did not work.
This is how I try to create the pdf file:
private boolean isExternalStorageWritable(){
if(Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(Environment.getExternalStorageState())){
Log.i("State", "Yes, it is writable");
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
public boolean checkPermission(String permission){
int check = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, permission);
return (check == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED);
}
public void checkPermission(String permission, int requestCode)
{
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(Results.this, permission)
== PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
// Requesting the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(Results.this,
new String[] { permission },
requestCode);
}
else {
/*Toast.makeText(Results.this,
"Permission already granted",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();*/
}
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
if (requestCode == STORAGE_PERMISSION_CODE){
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
/*Toast.makeText(Results.this,
"Storage Permission Granted",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();*/
}
else {
Toast.makeText(Results.this,
"Please grant access",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
}
// Storage Permissions
private static final int REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE = 1;
private static String[] PERMISSIONS_STORAGE = {
Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
};
public static void verifyStoragePermissions(Activity activity) {
// Check if we have write permission
int permission = ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(activity, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
if (permission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// We don't have permission so prompt the user
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(
activity,
PERMISSIONS_STORAGE,
REQUEST_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
);
}
}
public void writeExternalStorage (){
String state;
state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state) &&
checkPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
try {
//File storageDir2 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(),
"/IranianMasonryBuildings/BluePrints");
File storageDir2 = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(),
"/IranianMasonryBuildings");
File f = new File(storageDir2, "BluePrint213.png");
Bitmap blueprint2 = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(new FileInputStream(f));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
PdfDocument myPdfDocument = new PdfDocument();
Paint myPaint = new Paint();
// Create a page description
PdfDocument.PageInfo myPageInfo1 = new PdfDocument.PageInfo.Builder(PageWidth,
PageHeight, PageNumber).create();
// start a page
PdfDocument.Page myPage1 = myPdfDocument.startPage(myPageInfo1);
Canvas canvas = myPage1.getCanvas();
myPaint = new Paint();
myPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
myPaint.setStrokeWidth(3);
canvas.drawRect(200, 250, 1900, 2600, myPaint);
myPdfDocument.finishPage(myPage1);
File storageDir = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString(),
"/IranianMasonryBuildings");
storageDir.mkdirs(); // make sure you call mkdirs() and not mkdir()
boolean wasSuccessful = storageDir.mkdirs();
if (!wasSuccessful) {
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "mkdirs was not Successful ",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
File file2 = new File(storageDir, ProjectName + " -- " + Today + ".pdf");
try {
myPdfDocument.writeTo(new FileOutputStream(file2));
Toast.makeText(this, "The results are saved in" + "IranianMasonryBuildings",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("main", "error " + e.toString());
Toast.makeText(this, "Error!" + e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
// close the document
myPdfDocument.close();
Any ideas what is causing the problem and how to fix?
