Permission Denial: android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - android

I am using a MediaStore class in my application and facing the below error(logcat),
E/DatabaseUtils: Writing exception to parcel

I read this question,
Android reading external storage gives securityException
But I have placed the permissions correctly in my manifest below,
Manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.media.wanware.fragmentdemo">
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="15"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="19" />
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
android:maxSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Also upon reading further I also went through this below question,
Android permission doesn't work even if I have declared it
The big reason for not getting your permission nowadays is because
your project has a targetSdkVersion of 23 or higher
For these permissions, not only does your targetSdkVersion 23+ app
need to have the element(s), but you also have to
ask for those permissions at runtime from the user on Android 6.0+
devices, using methods like checkSelfPermission() and
requestPermissions().
As a temporary workaround, drop your targetSdkVersion below 23.
But my target SDK is below 23 only. Why I am getting the same error ?

SDK 23 has all new method and functionalities to deal with the Android Permissions to try to compile your code with lower SDK verions. This may solve your problem.
And also remove maxSdkVersion from your permissions.
Happy Coding :)

Better than compiling with lower version, you have to make an appropriate code for all versions or eventually you will be left behind in the current ways of programming, especially in android.
Check this article of how to request permissions at run time here.
Here's and example of how I properly request these permission:
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// Should we show an explanation?
if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale((Activity) context,
android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)) {
Snackbar.make(getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView(), "We need permissions to do stuff.\n Please allow.", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
.setAction("Settings", new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
final Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
i.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + context.getPackageName()));
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_HISTORY);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}).show();
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context,
new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ);
} else {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions((Activity) context,
new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ);
}
}else {
//Do your stuff here
}

Security Exception for Download Manager with targetSdkVersion Below 22

I have a weird crash in Lollipopand below. I get a security Exception when trying to download a file from the server, but in devices running Marshmallow and above the app does not crash. Logcat:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: need WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to use DESTINATION_FILE_URI: uid 10229 does not have android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE.
In App's grandle I use
targetSdkVersion 22
Will change after our first push on Google Console to target the latest sdk version, but for now this will remain to 22, so no need for run time permissions.
Furthermore, in App's Manifest we declare app's permission.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Also, the code that uses the DownloadManagerinside an AsynckTask :
try {
String dirPath = String.format("%5$s/%1$s/Resources/%2$s/%3$s/%4$s/", userID, resource.getiD(), filePackage.getiD(), language, dir.getCanonicalPath());
File makeDirs = new File(dirPath);
makeDirs.mkdirs();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
this.downloadManager = (DownloadManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(url);
request.setDestinationInExternalFilesDir(getApplicationContext(), null, filePath);
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_HIDDEN);
request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(false);
downloadID = downloadManager.enqueue(request);
Again, this crash is observed only in Galaxy A5 with OS version 5.0.2, in an emulator running Samsung Galaxy S6 with Lollipop and in emulator running Kitkat 4.4.4 HTC One.

Eventually this post WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE not working on lollipop even though it's set in the manifest helped me. What I did was to alter permissions in AndroidManifest.xml file like this:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="26" tools:replace="android:maxSdkVersion"/>
This way the app doesn't crashes!

Taking an image with the camera on API 19 crashes, but it works on API 21 and newer

I have an app that lets you make a list, and for each item you can put in a name, price, description, image, etc.
I started writing the app with the minimum API level 21. I'm currently trying to bring it down to API 19 so that I can get some of the KitKat users.
The problem happens when a user on API 19 tries to take a picture using the app. When they push the "take picture" button the camera pulls up just fine, but when they take a picture and hit the checkmark to save the image the camera app crashes.
Here is the error code in the logs for the camera app. The main line I'm seeing is this:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: opening provider android.support.v4.content.FileProvider from ProcessRecord{a517eda0 12685:com.android.camera/u0a32} (pid=12685, uid=10032) that is not exported from uid 10057

</application>
Does anyone know whats going on here? I'm at a loss. I believe I gave the app permission to access the files using those two permission lines in the manifest.
If any additional code would be helpful just let me know.
UPDATE 1:
Adding the camera intent code (before I did not have the FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION line, but I added it due to CommonsWare's post. It did not fix the issue):
private void dispatchTakePictureIntent() {
Intent takePictureIntent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
takePictureIntent.addFlags(FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
// Ensure that there's a camera activity to handle the intent
if (takePictureIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
// Create the File where the photo should go
File photoFile = null;
try {
photoFile = createImageFile();
} catch (IOException ex) {
}
// Continue only if the File was successfully created
if (photoFile != null) {
photoURI = FileProvider.getUriForFile(this,
"jeremy.com.wineofmine.fileprovider",
photoFile);
takePictureIntent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, photoURI);
startActivityForResult(takePictureIntent, REQUEST_TAKE_PHOTO);
}
}
}
Sorry, I had it backwards in the comment. The camera app is writing, and so you need to add FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION to the Intent.
UPDATE ...and, since you're trying to support Android 4.4, you need to also do this crap:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
}
else {
ClipData clip=
ClipData.newUri(getContentResolver(), "whatevs", outputUri);
i.setClipData(clip);
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_WRITE_URI_PERMISSION);
}
where:
i is the Intent
outputUri is the value you are using for EXTRA_OUTPUT

How to access Storage from SD card connected via OTG

I try to read and change an textfile on the external storage SD card. To make the example more easy I already inserted the content URI I get from the File Chooser.
I run the app on an Nexus 5X with Android 7 (SDK 24). The minSdkVersion is set to 19 and the targetSdkVersion is 23.
package de.cowabuja.androiduriaccess;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String uriString = "content://com.android.externalstorage.documents/document/primary%3ADCIM%2FAny%2Dir%2FtheFile.txt";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriString);
getApplicationContext().grantUriPermission(getPackageName(), uri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
}
}

You cannot assemble a Uri to a third-party provider like that and expect it to work. That provider has not granted you permission to work with that content. At most, it previously gave you temporary access to the content, but those rights died when your process died.
Either:
Move the file to one of the locations where you have filesystem access on removable storage: getExternalFilesDirs(), getExternalCacheDirs(), and getExternalMediaDirs(). If those methods (on Context) return 2+ entries, the second and subsequent ones are directories on removable storage that you can use. You can then use normal Java file I/O (e.g., File, FileInputStream).
Use the Storage Access Framework to ask the user to choose a file to work with. The user may elect to choose one on removable storage, or not, as it is the user's device and the user's files. You would then use the Uri with ContentResolver, via methods like openInputStream().

I would like to use the emulator to get my location - it displays the google map and it finds locations of addresses I provide, but it refuses to get my location - so I can not calculate distances properly.
What is wrong?
The emulator I use was created for API 23 and target Google API.
Any help will be welcomed.
If you are using emulator on Android M , you will need to request permission from user despite your manifest. See
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission error emulator only
Android M Google API's to use Google Maps and other permissions
You may check out articles / tutorials e.g. this to work with the new system or just target a lower API <= 22
Error is occuring because of this problem:
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: "passive" location provider requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.
Just add a new permission to your app manifest:
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission error emulator only

I'm having a weird error while using the emulator ONLY.
I found one question that has the same issue 9 months ago with no answers at all...
I'm using google play services locations to get locations in my app and I'm sure of my manifest permissions and everything works perfectly on my phone, the problem occurs when using an emulator only, and I tried different emulators on both my iMac and Windows machines.
I doubt that emulators don't support this basic function!
here is my manifest code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.orderme.ordermeandroid" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
and here is where the exception is firing:
LocationRequest mLocationRequest = new LocationRequest();
mLocationRequest.setInterval(10000);
mLocationRequest.setFastestInterval(5000);
mLocationRequest.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(googleApiClient,mLocationRequest,this);

My guess is that you are running this on an Android 6.0+ emulator and you have a targetSdkVersion of 23 or higher.
In that case, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION are part of the Android 6.0 runtime permission system. Either revise your app to participate in this system, or drop your targetSdkVersion below 23.
in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app
How to check if you have the permission:
// Assume thisActivity is the current activity
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
How to request the permissions you need :
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(thisActivity,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(thisActivity,
new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION},
MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
// MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION is an
// app-defined int constant. The callback method gets the
// result of the request.
}
How to access the result of the request :
#Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: {
// If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.
if (grantResults.length > 0
&& grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// permission was granted, yay! Do the task you need to do.
} else {
// permission denied, boo! Disable the functionality that depends on this permission.
}
return;
}
}
}

You can not get the current location from emulator. But you can emulate it to test your code. Here you can find how to emulate.
EDIT1:
There is a note here
Note: If you are using both NETWORK_PROVIDER and GPS_PROVIDER, then you need to request only the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, because it includes permission for both providers. (Permission for ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION includes permission only for NETWORK_PROVIDER.)
You should use only ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission. Maybe this helps.
The issue was caused by a new feature for Android 6.0. hope its work...
Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app.
http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
To get around the issue when the permission is not explicitly granted, I had put in a check to wrap location service calls (as per the Google Documentation, slightly modified).
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
if (permissionCheck == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
//Execute location service call if user has explicitly granted ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION..
}
The Google Documentation also steps through how to request for the permissions that are needed.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
some times manifest have a missing line granting the permission of ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION. so you need to mention it in the manifest.
I did this and my problem was solved.
This generally happens because we have given the permission in the manifest so the app would create a problem as it would not be allowed to access the permissions and the file would crash.
