I've been trying to encrypt files and write those files back on to the same place. But I got the error message saying "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/New file.txt: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)".
My Manifest
file is this
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.tdk.mytestapplication2">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
I think I have provided correct permission there. And the code I am using to encrypt files is this.
public static void encrypt(SecretKey secretKey, String filePath){
try {
// Here you read the cleartext.
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filePath);
// This stream write the encrypted text. This stream will be wrapped by another stream.
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filePath);
// Create cipher
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, secretKey);
// Wrap the output stream
CipherOutputStream cos = new CipherOutputStream(fos, cipher);
// Write bytes
int b;
byte[] d = new byte[8];
while ((b = fis.read(d)) != -1) {
cos.write(d, 0, b);
}
// Flush and close streams.
cos.flush();
cos.close();
fis.close();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch(NoSuchPaddingException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}catch(InvalidKeyException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
And I used this method inside a button
Button btnEncrypt = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnEnc);
btnEncrypt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
aesKey = EncAndDec.generateKey();
String filePath = editText.getText().toString();
//Generating the file hash
String md5Hash = MD5Hash.getMD5(filePath);
System.out.println(aesKey.toString());
System.out.println(filePath);
System.out.println(md5Hash);
//Encrypting the file
for(int i=1; i<100; i++) {
EncAndDec.encrypt(aesKey, filePath);
}
}
});
Still I couldn't configure this error. Please someone help!

If you are running in Android 29 then you have to use scoped storage or for now, you can bypass this issue by using:
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
in manifest in the application tag.
