Hi, Having WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions granted, the external sdcard is writable in a real device but not in the emulator in Android Studio
File[] dirs = getExternalFilesDirs(null); File sdcard = dirs[1]; File sdcardRoot = sdcard.getParentFile().getParentFile().getParentFile(). getParentFile(); String w = (sdcardRoot.canWrite()) ? "is writable": "is NOT writable"; Log.v(TAG, "file: "+sdcardRoot.getAbsolutePath()+" "+w); Running in emulator Log says: file: /storage/42B6-1509 is NOT writable And in real device (motorola E 2nd gen): file: /storage/4233-16E2 is writable Both devices run Android 6.0 Why do permissions to write in SDcard differ here?
