I am downloading photos to smartphone. For versions lower than Oreo, there's no problem. But for Oreo, my code isn't not working. I tried this code in Emulator:
I implemented a function to save an image to external storage.
private void saveImageToExternalStorage(Bitmap finalBitmap,String name) {
String root = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES).toString();
File myDir = new File(root + "/xx");
myDir.mkdirs();
String fname = name + ".jpg";
File file = new File(myDir, fname);
if (file.exists())
file.delete();
try {
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
finalBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Tell the media scanner about the new file so that it is
// immediately available to the user.
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this, new String[] { file.toString() }, null,
new MediaScannerConnection.OnScanCompletedListener() {
public void onScanCompleted(String path, Uri uri) {
Log.i("ExternalStorage", "Scanned " + path + ":");
Log.i("ExternalStorage", "-> uri=" + uri);
}
});
}
I am requesting permissions with dexter library.
Dexter.withActivity(MainActivity.this)
.withPermission(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
.withListener(new PermissionListener() {
@Override
public void onPermissionGranted(PermissionGrantedResponse response) {
SharedPreferences prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(MainActivity.this);
if (!prefs.getBoolean("firstTime", false)) {
task.execute();
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = prefs.edit();
editor.putBoolean("firstTime", true);
editor.commit();
}
}
@Override
public void onPermissionDenied(PermissionDeniedResponse response) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You need to allow permission if you want to use camera", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
@Override
public void onPermissionRationaleShouldBeShown(PermissionRequest permission, PermissionToken token) {
token.continuePermissionRequest();
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You need to allow permission if you want to use camera", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}).check();
I save images with asynctask
final AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> task = new AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>() {
private ProgressDialog dialog;
@Override
protected void onPreExecute()
{
this.dialog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
this.dialog.setMessage(getString(R.string.newfeature));
this.dialog.setCancelable(false);
this.dialog.setOnCancelListener(new DialogInterface.OnCancelListener()
{
@Override
public void onCancel(DialogInterface dialog)
{
// cancel AsyncTask
cancel(false);
}
});
this.dialog.show();
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params)
{
// do your stuff
Bitmap myBitmap2 = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getApplicationContext().getResources(), R.drawable.im2);
saveImageToExternalStorage(myBitmap2,"imag2");
myBitmap2.recycle();
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void result)
{
//called on ui thread
if (this.dialog != null) {
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
}
@Override
protected void onCancelled()
{
//called on ui thread
if (this.dialog != null) {
this.dialog.dismiss();
}
}
};
I can see Storage permission is granted when I look Settings --> Apps for my app. But images are not saved correctly. In fact images are saved but all of them is green square like this.
As a result, it gives permission denied error although permission is granted.
