Android 10 saveAsFile failed to save File cause by open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) about photoeditor

@tanoDxyz Just request WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE without adding requestLegacyExternalStorage into androidmanifest can not work at api 29.
In the end what I did was using uri in above 28 and file in other

@haianhsing Seems like the sample app does NOT have the READ WRITE storage permission.

@burhanrashid52 Fails despite having read and write permissions.
Finally, I download source code and use uri to save without read and write permissions.

@haianhsing
i wrote the sample app's file saving code
basically library (PhotoEditor) understands file paths and FileSaveHelper uses URI
and write at that path.

it is a good thing if we have file saving code inside library but let @burhanrashid52 decide that.

moreover on topic
if you have android 10.
please add video etc and also share your manifest. so i can have better idea that what is wrong going on🙂

@tanoDxyz Though request WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission and set android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" can use file path to save image, I think use uri to save image is the better idea.

@haianhsing
please checkout the sample app in photoEditor.

it just declares WRITE_EXTERNAL_STAORAGE
upto api 28

and remove
requestLegacyExternalStorage
from your manifest
and your code will work fine.

remember requestLegacyExternalStorage does not work on higher api levels.
so please do not use it.
