Android Permission Denied when Writing files


I am trying to create a file in the internal storage when I say internal storage it is not to keep safe data, it will be to save some images or public files I was trying everything but it is giving me error and I don't know why D:

CODE:

File file = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory() + File.separator
        + "test1111111.txt");
Log.e("ERROR", Environment.getDataDirectory() + File.separator
        + "testfile.txt");
try {
    file.createNewFile();
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
byte[] data1 = {
        1, 1, 0, 0
};
// write the bytes in file
if (file.exists())
{
    OutputStream fo = null;
    try {
        fo = new FileOutputStream(file);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        fo.write(data1);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        fo.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.out.println("file created: " + file);

}

Solution

  • Data directory is a system's directory, you can never have the permission to write in it.

    Try for example :

    File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + File.separator + "testfile.txt");
    

    See this : Data directory has no read/write permission in Android
