Android Question Why does "java.io.FileNotFoundException.." occur running GPS Example Moto G5+ ver 27?

[CharlieHab]

Trying to run GPS Example. Compiles, loads ok, but comes up with a file not found error. Added External SD card. Newbie, missing something obvious (but not to me!). Using a Moto G5+. Android 27.

Thanks for any insight.

The GPS Example shows you the use of Runtimepermission.

If you want to write (or read) the external CD-Card then you need to do similar checks for them using runtimepermissions lib. See Runtimepermission-Tutorial:

Try this project.
It uses GetSafeDirDefaultExternal insted of File.DirRootExternal.
New Android policy.

Thanks, Klaus. The new code works a treat.

Nice project!
