Problems with dowloading and installing programmatically apk android 10 11

I'm having a problem downloading and installing the app.
On android below 10 this code works.
I am trying to update my application from the server.

Activity
If there is an update, then a snackbar appears and by clicking update the application should download and install
private void showSnackbar() {
Snackbar snackbar =
Snackbar.make(
findViewById(android.R.id.content),

Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE);
snackbar.setAction("update", new View.OnClickListener() {

snackbar.show();
}

}
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
private void requestPermission() {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);
}
this is how it loads
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
try {
URL url = new URL(arg0[0]);
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
c.setRequestMethod("GET");
c.setDoOutput(true);
c.connect();
int lenghtOfFile = c.getContentLength();
String PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "app.apk";
File file = new File(PATH);
boolean isCreate = file.mkdirs();
File outputFile = new File(file, "app.apk");
if (outputFile.exists()) {
boolean isDelete = outputFile.delete();
}
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
InputStream is = c.getInputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int len1;
long total = 0;
while ((len1 = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
total += len1;
fos.write(buffer, 0, len1);
publishProgress((int) ((total * 100) / lenghtOfFile));
}
fos.close();
is.close();
if (mPDialog != null)
mPDialog.dismiss();
installApk();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("UpdateAPP", "Update error! " + e.getMessage());
}
return null;
}
this is how the installation works
void installApk(){
String PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "app.apk"+ "/" + "app.apk";
File file = new File(PATH);
if(file.exists()) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(uriFromFile(getApplicationContext(), new File(PATH)), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
try {
getApplicationContext().startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Error in opening the file!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}else{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"installing",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
Uri uriFromFile(Context context, File file) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
return FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, BuildConfig.APPLICATION_ID + ".provider", file);
} else {
return Uri.fromFile(file);
}
}
on android below 10 works, but in 10 and 11 does not work. even the file does not load.

I'm getting an error while sending a screenshot

As soon as the user clicks the button, I ask him to take a screenshot and send it to another friend.
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
View rootView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
Bitmap bitmap = getScreenShot(rootView);
File file = store(bitmap,"File-Name");
shareImage(file);
}
});
public static Bitmap getScreenShot(View view) {
View screenView = view.getRootView();
screenView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(screenView.getDrawingCache());
screenView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
return bitmap;
}
public static File store(Bitmap bm, String fileName){
final String dirPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + "/Screenshots";
File dir = new File(dirPath);
if(!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dirPath, fileName);
try {
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 85, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return file;
}
private void shareImage(File file){
Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setType("image/*");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "");
intent.putExtra(android.content.Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "");
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Share Screenshot"));
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Toast.makeText(this, "No App Available", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
I see that the bitmap value is "" when I debug. I also have these in my error message.

I used them in my manifest file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

Could you please help me?

You should use this code
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
View rootView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
Bitmap bitmap = getScreenShot(rootView);
File file = store(bitmap, "name.png");
if (file.exists()) {
shareImage(file);
} else {
Log.e("file exist", "NO");
}
}
});
public static Bitmap getScreenShot(View view) {
View screenView = view.getRootView();
screenView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(screenView.getDrawingCache());
screenView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
return bitmap;
}
public File store(Bitmap bm, String fileName) {
final String dirPath = getExternalCacheDir().getAbsolutePath() + "/Screenshots";
File dir = new File(dirPath);
if (!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dirPath, fileName);
try {
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 85, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return file;
}
private void shareImage(File file) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse(file.getPath()));
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Screenshot"));
}

Use this to capture a bitmap from a view. Your method will not work anymore using the drawing cache.
public drawBitmap(View view, int width, int height) {
Bitmap bm = Bitmap.createBitmap(width,
height,
Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888)
Canvas canvas = Canvas(bm)
canvas.drawColor(previewBgColor)
view.draw(canvas)
// Store bitmap in dest file,
File dstFile = File("path/to/file")
storeBitmap(dstFile, bm)
}
public String storeBitmap(File file, Bitmap bmp) {
FileOutputStream stream;
try {
stream = FileOutputStream(file, false)
bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,99,it)
} catch (e: Exception) {
} finally {
stream.close()
}
return file.path
}
If the file exception persists let us know. I am assuming it's giving that error because the bitmap file returns ""? The docs here should be enough to get you through.

I was able to solve the problem with such a structure. Thank you very much to P Fuster for all his help.
We add these permissions first to the manifests file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
then we add them to the onCreate method in mainActivity.
StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());
Now let's give the click effect of our button.
share_friends.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
View rootView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);
Bitmap bitmap = getScreenShot(rootView);
File file = store(bitmap, "name.png");
if (file.exists()) {
shareImage(file);
System.out.println(file.getPath());
} else {
Log.e("file exist", "NO");
}
}
});
Functions used in the button
public static Bitmap getScreenShot(View view) {
View screenView = view.getRootView();
screenView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(screenView.getDrawingCache());
screenView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
return bitmap;
}
public File store(Bitmap bm, String fileName) {
final String dirPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Screenshots";
File dir = new File(dirPath);
if (!dir.exists())
dir.mkdirs();
File file = new File(dirPath, fileName);
try {
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
bm.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 85, fOut);
fOut.flush();
fOut.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return file;
}
private void shareImage(File file) {
Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.setType("image/*");
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(file));
shareIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent, "Share Screenshot"));
}
the problem was solved like this.

Why doesn't image saving work anymore on API 29

In my App the user is able to save images from a pciture gallery to the local device by clicking on a DL Button.
The Code does work on old devices but on API 29 it has the following behaviour:
While saving I tried to open the Gallery to have a look what happens: the gallery gets updated and for 1 second an empty images appears and disappears immediately after. I get noticed, that the image got saved but it doesn't appear, not even in the device explorer.
//DEXTER HERE
Picasso.get().load(dummyimage.getLarge()).placeholder(R.drawable.ic_img_error).error(R.drawable.ic_red).into(saveImageToDirectory);
final Target saveImageToDirectory = new Target() {
#Override
public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom from) {
ProgressDialog mydialog = new ProgressDialog(getActivity());
mydialog.setMessage("saving Image to phone");
mydialog.show();
StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder builder = new StrictMode.VmPolicy.Builder();
StrictMode.setVmPolicy(builder.build());
try {
String fileName = "myApp_" + timeStamp + ".JPG";
String dirName= "/myApp";
File file = new File(requireActivity().getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + dirName, fileName);
//new File(path for the file to be saved, saving file name)
if (!file.exists()) {
//check if the file already exist or if not create a new file
//if exist the file will be overwritten with the new image
File filedirectory = new File(requireActivity().getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + dirName);
filedirectory.mkdirs();
}
if (file.exists()) {
file.delete();
}
FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(file);
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, ostream);
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Picture saved to Gallery" + file.getAbsolutePath(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
ostream.close();
mydialog.dismiss();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, "My Images");
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH,"/myApp");
// API LEVEL Q: values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());
values.put("_data", file.getAbsolutePath());
ContentResolver cr = getActivity().getContentResolver();
cr.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
} catch (Exception e) {
mydialog.dismiss();
Log.e("file creation error", e.toString());
}
}
#Override
public void onBitmapFailed(Exception e, Drawable errorDrawable) {
}
#Override
public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
}
};
As you may see, instead of
File filedirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + dirName);
I'm already using
File filedirectory = new File(requireActivity().getApplicationContext().getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + dirName);
I hope this shouldn't be the problem, but I'm a little stuck on this strange behaviour.
This is the error I'm getting out of my Logcat:
E/file creation error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Primary
directory (invalid) not allowed for
content://media/external/images/media; allowed directories are [DCIM,
Pictures]
PS: I'm using Dexter to avoid problems with the permissions

Try this
private Uri saveImage(Context context, Bitmap bitmap, #NonNull String folderName, #NonNull String fileName) throws IOException
{
OutputStream fos;
File imageFile = null;
Uri imageUri = null;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver();
ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, fileName);
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/png");
contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, "DCIM" + File.separator + folderName);
imageUri = resolver.insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues);
fos = resolver.openOutputStream(imageUri);
} else {
String imagesDir = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
Environment.DIRECTORY_DCIM).toString() + File.separator + folderName;
imageFile = new File(imagesDir);
if (!imageFile.exists()) {
imageFile.mkdir();
}
imageFile = new File(imagesDir, fileName + ".png");
fos = new FileOutputStream(imageFile);
}
boolean saved = bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, fos);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
if (imageFile != null) // pre Q
{
MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(context, new String[]{imageFile.toString()}, null, null);
imageUri = Uri.fromFile(imageFile);
}
return imageUri;
}
And add requestLegacyExternalStorage in your Manifest file
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#drawable/icon"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
...

</application>

Figured it out.
As, I was compiling with Android 6.0. It requires user to grant permission.
So,following code should be inserted and checked if user grants app permission or not.Then if user grants permission to read and write manifest will be updated and volia !!!
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 23) {
if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED || ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
!= PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this,
new String[]{android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, android.Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},
1);
} else {
//do something
}
} else {
//do something
}

This code works for me
try{
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG,90, bytes);
imgUri = "photo_" + System.currentTimeMillis() + ".jpg";
File appDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"CountDotsAppImages");
appDirectory.mkdirs();
File destination = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"CountDotsAppImages/"+imgUri);
FileOutputStream fo;
try {
destination.createNewFile();
fo = new FileOutputStream(destination);
fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
fo.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

For adding directory you can use this method.
isAvailable=ExternalStorageChecker.isExternalStorageWritable();
if(isAvailable){
dir = new File(myContext.getExternalFilesDir(null), newAlbumDir.getText().toString().trim());
if(!dir.mkdirs()){
Log.e("++++++","Directoy Already Exist");
Log.e("External Directory Path","++++"+dir.getAbsolutePath());
}
else{
Log.e("++++","Directory Created");
Toast.makeText(myContext,"File Created on External",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.e("Externa Directory Path","++++"+dir.getAbsolutePath());
}
}
else{
Toast.makeText(myContext,"File Created on Internal",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.e("Internal Directory Path","++++"+myContext.getFilesDir().getPath());
dir=new File(myContext.getFilesDir(),newAlbumDir.getText().toString());
}
After it created the directory(dir) you can use to create the File.
