Read and Write external storage permission isn't working
in android API >= 23 you need to request permission at runtime. Take a look here
Something like this
// Here, thisActivity is the current activity
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Permission is not granted
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
// Show an explanation to the user *asynchronously* -- don't block
// this thread waiting for the user's response! After the user
// sees the explanation, try again to request the permission.
} else {
// No explanation needed; request the permission
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
MY_PERMISSIONS_WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
} else {
// Permission has already been granted
}
however, Ted permission library is a gread lib to avoid such boilerplate code.
//call back after permission granted
PermissionListener permissionlistener = new PermissionListener() {
@Override
public void onPermissionGranted() {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onPermissionDenied(List<String> deniedPermissions) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Permission Denied\n" + deniedPermissions.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
//check all needed permissions together
TedPermission.with(this)
.setPermissionListener(permissionlistener)
.setDeniedMessage("If you reject permission,you can not use this service\n\nPlease turn on permissions at [Setting] > [Permission]")
.setPermissions(Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
.check();
Recommended solution: User a permission library like Dexter or KotlinPermissions or RxPermissions. I have used all of them and they are quite reliable.
Else:
Write these lines in your activity, just bellow super.onCreate(...) and before setContentView(...):
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Here, thisActivity is the current activity
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
}
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
}
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.CAMERA) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.CAMERA}, 1);
}
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Now it should work, it fixed the problem for me!
Read and Write permission for storage and gallery usage for marshmallow or above:
private void requestPermission() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
requestPermissions(new String[] {
android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, REQUEST_WRITE_PERMISSION);
} else {
openFilePicker();
}
}
To check permission result use below method:
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[]
permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
switch (requestCode) {
case STORAGE_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && permissions[0].equals(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
// check whether storage permission granted or not.
if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// do what you want;
}
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
