I am currently facing an issue with Google pixel phones not letting the app save photo to a specific file location (mentioned below). I don't know if this is something to do with the scoped-storage because the app is running perfectly fine with 4000+ android 12 devices and this only happens to google pixel devices.

(content://com.au.APP_NAME/data/user/0/com.au.APP_NAME/cache/APP_NAMEPicture-Cache/1660.jpg)

private void startCameraIntent() {
        Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);

        String filePath = FileProvider.contentUri + StorageManager.createPictureCacheFileName(getContext());

//filePath = content://com.au.APP_NAME/data/user/0/com.au.APP_NAME/cache/APP_NAMEPicture-Cache/1660.jpg
 
        StorageManager.saveCameraCaptureImageFilePathToSharedPreferences(getContext(), filePath);

        Uri fileURI = Uri.parse(filePath);
        intent.putExtra(MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, fileURI);

      
        startActivityForResult(intent, Constant.TAKE_PHOTO_FROM_CAMERA_ACTIVITY_TAG);
        
      
    }

Are you creating the cache directory before using an intent? – blackapps Aug 17 '22 at 10:50
yes, I am creating the cache dir before using intent. – nirvikBasnet Aug 18 '22 at 08:17

You should use FileProvider.getUriFromFile() to get a usable content scheme uri. That one you builded cannot work. Try to open an outputstream for it and write to it yourself to find out. – blackapps Dec 02 '22 at 11:33
Also the intent is missing a WRITE permission flag. – blackapps Dec 02 '22 at 11:36
