Captured Image is not storing in android 11

Question

I'm unable to store captured image in (getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES)) Android 11 device.

I have added <uses-permissionandroid:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> in manifest and all file access also. But it's not working.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 30) {
            if (!Environment.isExternalStorageManager()) {
                try {
                    val intent = Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_APP_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION)
                    intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT")
                    intent.data = Uri.parse(String.format("package:%s", applicationContext.packageName))
                    startActivityForResult(intent, 2296)
                } catch (e: Exception) {
                    val intent = Intent()
                    intent.action = Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_ALL_FILES_ACCESS_PERMISSION
                    startActivityForResult(intent, 2296)
                }
            }
        }

This code is working below Android 11 device. But on Android 11 file is not creating File(context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) .toString() + "/" + FolderName )

Answer 1

use this code for save captured image

String mPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/Print";
    Bitmap tmp = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(mPath);

 File imageFile = new File(mPath);


    FileOutputStream outStream;

    try
    {
        outStream = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);

        try
        {
            bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, quality, outStream);
            outStream.flush();
            outStream.close();
        } catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    } catch (Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

First Thing is "android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" Permission has no relation with saving image. after Android 11 google say you should do your business in your space. that mean you cant get or save image or any file as you did before Android 11. you can only save in Shared folder or in your application storage data/App packagename/.....

if you want to access other app files then you need "android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" but google say this must be app prior functionality like filemanager or virus scanner like app.

As far as your App concern you havent provide save code. in Android 11 i am suggestion using Media Api

     ContentResolver resolver = mContext.getContentResolver();
                ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, s);
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES + File.separator + getResources().getString(R.string.app_name) + File.separator + "imgfolder");
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_ADDED, System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());
                contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.IS_PENDING, 1);
                Uri imageUri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues);
                fos = resolver.openOutputStream(Objects.requireNonNull(imageUri));
 
                try {
                    mBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);
                    fos.close(); 
                } catch (Exception e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();
                } finally {
                    contentValues.clear();
                    contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.IS_PENDING, 0);
                    resolver.update(imageUri, contentValues, null, null);
                }

this is for image file
