How to create a file on Android Internal Storage?
You should use ContextWrapper like this:
ContextWrapper cw = new ContextWrapper(context);File directory = cw.getDir("media", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);As always, refer to documentation, ContextWrapper has a lot to offer.
I was getting the same exact error as well. Here is the fix. When you are specifying where to write to, Android will automatically resolve your path into either /data/ or /mnt/sdcard/. Let me explain.
If you execute the following statement:
File resolveMe = new File("/data/myPackage/files/media/qmhUZU.jpg");resolveMe.createNewFile();It will resolve the path to the root /data/ somewhere higher up in Android.
I figured this out, because after I executed the following code, it was placed automatically in the root /mnt/ without me translating anything on my own.
File resolveMeSDCard = new File("/sdcard/myPackage/files/media/qmhUZU.jpg");resolveMeSDCard.createNewFile();A quick fix would be to change your following code:
File f = new File(getLocalPath().replace("/data/data/", "/"));Hope this helps
