I write a Android app on NativeScript.
I have defined required permissions in App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml
:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
I know that it's not enough for getting access to storage, so I have requested permission in runtime and check it in System settings.
After downloading some image by browser to Downloads folder I wanna read it in my app. Initially I got a file path by nativescript-mediafilepicker
, but for know I use following snippet:
console.log(fs.File.exists('/storage/emulated/0/Download/7zoVG9uML7AyjwHl.png'));
const file = fs.File.fromPath('/storage/emulated/0/Download/7zoVG9uML7AyjwHl.png');
file.readSync(e => console.log('ERROR ' + e));
which print in console:
JS: true
JS: ERROR Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Download/7zoVG9uML7AyjwHl.png: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
What I do wrong?
UPDATE
I added WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission, but it has no effect:
permissions.requestPermissions(p).then(async () => {
const publicDirectory = android.os.Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(android.os.Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).getAbsolutePath();
const fullPath = `${publicDirectory}/7zoVG9uML7AyjwHl.png`;
const file = fs.File.fromPath(fullPath);
file.readSync(e => console.log('ERROR ' + e));
});
JS: ERROR Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Download/7zoVG9uML7AyjwHl.png: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
So, the solution is:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ...>
const file = fs.File.fromPath('/storage/emulated/0/Download/7zoVG9uML7AyjwHl.png');
file.readSync(e => console.log('ERROR ' + e));
