Android 11 - Unable to create directory in external storage

[gkasireddy202]

Hi Team,

'/storage/emulated/0'does not have permission to create directories - This error is occurred by using below code for creating the directory in external storage.

createDirectory=async()=>{

const path = ${RNFS.ExternalStorageDirectoryPath}; try { const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ); if (granted == PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) { ScopedStorage.createDirectory(path, "TEST").then((obj) => { alert(obj) }) .catch(error => { console.log("ERROR" + error) })

        } else {
            console.log('permission denied');
        }
    } catch (err) {
        console.warn(err);
    }

}

You don't need any full storage permissions on android while using this library. So remove this: .WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE from Android Manifest.

To take permissions use openDocumentTree method. Then use createDirectory on the returned directory uri.
