StorageRead and StorageWrite Permissions Denied.

Question

StorageRead and StorageWrite Permissions Denied.

Asgar Ali 86

I am getting a storageRead and storagewrite permissions denied on this code.

The pop ups for these permissions are also not showing up.

public async Task<bool> CheckCameraStoragePermissions()
{
    bool bool1 = false , bool2 = false,  bool3 = false;
    var status1 = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.Camera>();
    var status2 = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.StorageWrite>();
    var status3 = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.StorageRead>();
    
    if(status1 != PermissionStatus.Granted)
    {
        var result1 = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Camera>();
        status1 = result1.Result;
       bool1 = status1 == PermissionStatus.Granted;

    }
    if (status2 != PermissionStatus.Granted)
    {
        var result1 = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.StorageWrite>();
        status2 = result1.Result;
        bool2 = status2 == PermissionStatus.Granted;
    }

    if (status3 != PermissionStatus.Granted)
    {
        var result1 = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.StorageRead>();
        status3 = result1.Result;
        bool3 = status3 == PermissionStatus.Granted;
    }




    return bool1 && bool2 && bool3;
}

For further investigation, could you please provide the platform and API version of your application that it is running on?

If you're running this code in Android 13, this behavior is expected. StorageRead and StorageWrite have been deprecated in Android 13.

You could refer to the Android official documentation for more details: Granular media permissions.

Yes I am targeting Android13 APi Level 34.

I have added the necessary permissions .

now my code is as follows and all the permissions are granted but the image is not saved.

 public async Task<bool> CheckCameraStoragePermissions()
 {
     bool bool1 = true , bool2 = true,  bool3 = true;
     var status1 = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.Camera>();
     var status2 = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.Photos>();
     var status3 = await Permissions.CheckStatusAsync<Permissions.Media>();
     
     if(status1 != PermissionStatus.Granted)
     {
         var result1 = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Camera>();
         status1 = result1.Result;
        bool1 = status1 == PermissionStatus.Granted;

     }
     if (status2 != PermissionStatus.Granted)
     {
         var result1 = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Photos>();
         status2 = result1.Result;
         bool2 = status2 == PermissionStatus.Granted;
     }

     if (status3 != PermissionStatus.Granted)
     {
         var result1 = Permissions.RequestAsync<Permissions.Media>();
         status3 = result1.Result;
         bool3 = status3 == PermissionStatus.Granted;
     }
    return bool1 && bool2 && bool3;
 }

Could you please provide more information about how you wrote the image? Do you need to call the Android camera to take a picture and save it to the album?

I see that the issue is resolved. I will post a new question for displaying image.

just one little doubt will the solution (Permissions. Photos) work for previous android versions.?

Hello,

just one little doubt will the solution (Permissions. Photos) work for previous android versions.?

For Android permissions, you need to apply for different permissions according to different versions.

Please refer to the following steps:

Step 1. Modify Platforms/Android/AndroidManifest.xml in your project:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32" />
<!-- Required only if your app needs to access images or photos that other apps created -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
<!-- Required only if your app needs to access videos that other apps created -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" />
<!-- Required only if your app needs to access audio files that other apps created -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" />

Step 2. When requesting permissions, you could request the corresponding permissions by judging the Android version.

#if ANDROID
            if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Tiramisu) // Check whether the Android version is Android 13 or later
            {
                // request media permissions
            }
            else
            {
                // request stroage permissions.
            }
#endif

Alec Liu.

I don't have a physical device to check the code for older android versions, but when I run my code on android emulators android 10 and android12 (Api level 30 and 32). The code runs without any errors.

Yes I will accept it.But you have mentioned in your post that if Android version is less than 13.I have to call the storage read and write permission instead of photos and media permission that is a bit confusing since my code runs On Android emulator version 10 and 12 . without any storage permission.

This is relevant to your program usage scenario. In Android, starting with Android 10, you don't need to request additional external storage permissions if you only need to store media files in shared storage.

Please refer to Some apps don't need permissions for more details.

As of Android 10 (API level 29), apps no longer need storage permissions to add files to shared storage. This means that apps can add images to the gallery, record videos and save them to shared storage, or download PDF invoices without having to request storage permissions. If your app only adds files to shared storage and doesn't query images or videos, you should stop requesting storage permissions and set a maxSdkVersion of API 28 in your AndroidManifest.xml:
