First of all I clarify that I am a novice in programming. What I'm trying to do is create a simple folder in the sdcard, but I create it in the internal storage of the device. To do these tests I am using my own Smartphone which is an LG G4 H815 with android 6.0. The app consists of a button, that when pressed creates a folder with the name "PruebaMermisMM". When I start the app apparently everything works fine, I request permission to access photos and multimedia files on the device, but I create it as I said earlier in the internal storage.
In the manifest I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<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>
In build.gradle (Module: app) I have:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "lucasandroid.pruebapermisosmm"
minSdkVersion 18
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.1.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
The java code is:
package lucasandroid.pruebapermisosmm;

});
}
private boolean checkearPermiso(){
//Array de permisos
String[] permisos={Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
for(String perms:permisos){
int res=checkCallingOrSelfPermission(perms);
if(!(res== PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)){

}
}
return true;
}
private void solicitarPermiso(){
String[] permisos={Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M){ //Verificamos si la version de android del dispositivo es mayor
requestPermissions(permisos,CODIGO_SOLICITUD_PERMISO); //o igual a MarshMallow
}
}
@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
boolean autorizado= true; //Si el permiso fue autorizado
switch (requestCode){
case CODIGO_SOLICITUD_PERMISO:

//si el usuario concedió todos los permisos

}
break;
default:
//Si el usuario autorizó los permisos
autorizado= false;
break;
}
if(autorizado){
//Si el usuario autorizó todos los permisos podemos ejecutar nuestra tarea
crearCarpeta();
}else {
//Se debe alertar al usuario que los permisos no han sido concedidos
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M){
if(shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Los permisos de almacenamiento externo fueron denegados",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
}
private void crearCarpeta(){
File file= new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath(),"PruebaPermisosMM"); // Creamos un archivo llamado PruebaPermisosMM
//Verificamos si el archivo fue creado exitosamente
if(!file.exists()) {
boolean ff = file.mkdir();
if (ff){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"La carpeta fue creada exitosamente",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}else{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"La carpeta no pudo ser creada",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}else{
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"La carperta ya existe",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
I also clarify that when I use the same permission request code for the use of the camera or audio recorder through Intent, it works well for me. I do not know why I have problems reading or writing in the sd.
