java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/

Question

I am trying to create a .txt file through my app in android studio. SDK version 10, my emulator is galaxy S7 (I am not sure if this matters at all).

I have written the following class and it keeps on giving me file no exception error. I have googled a lot and searched this forum but none of them is working.

Please help.

My Class..

public static void StoreData(String input) throws IOException {
    File Root = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
    Log.d("hello",Root.getAbsolutePath());
    File Dir = new File(Root.getAbsoluteFile() + "/testfolder");
    if (!Dir.exists()) {
        Log.d("hello","doesn't exists "+Root.getAbsolutePath());
        Dir.mkdir();
    }

    File file = new File(Dir, "Contacts_Google_Sheets.txt");
    FileOutputStream fileoutputstream = new FileOutputStream(file);
    fileoutputstream.write(input.getBytes());
    fileoutputstream.close();
    Log.d("hello", "writing complete");
}

It keeps on giving following error:

You have to check the permission from runtime. If you want to just test your code right away, go to device's settings, apps, your_app, then choose permissions from there. Allow the permissions. And you're good to go
