Read file in android - file permission denied
Make sure you have added the permission to read external storage in your manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
I was experiencing the same problem and it can be easily removed by following either of these steps:1. Install your app by using -g if installing on Android N and O versions.2. Grant permission manually Settings->apps->"app_name"->Permissions->Enable Switch
For Both steps 1 and 2, define uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" and uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" in AndroidManifest.xml
Like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="..."> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <!-- all permissions here --> <application ...
Storage permission needs to be given by the user before accessing the functionality
Add Dependency:
dependencies: permission_handler: ^5.0.1
Code Snippet:
var status = await Permission.storage.status; if (status.isUndetermined) { // You can request multiple permissions at once. Map<Permission, PermissionStatus> statuses = await [ Permission.storage, ].request(); print(statuses[Permission.storage]); // it should print PermissionStatus.granted }
