I am accessing pictures of the device's gallery via my app, when the picture is accessed the metadata of the picture will be read and stored in metadata. The problem I'm facing is that whenever the program tries to read the metadata I'm getting the following error java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/Snapchat/Snapchat-1185425082.jpg (Permission denied).
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK && requestCode == PICK_IMAGE){
imageUri = data.getData();
imageView.setImageURI(imageUri);
File picturesfile = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
picturesfile.setReadable(true);
picturesfile.setExecutable(true);
String[] projection = {MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA};
try {
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(imageUri, projection, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(projection[0]);
path = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
Log.d("Picture Path", path);
}
catch(Exception e) {
Log.e("Path Error", e.toString());
}
File jpegFile = new File(path);
jpegFile.setReadable(true);

try {

for (Directory directory : metadata.getDirectories()) {

Log.d("tags ", hoi.toString());

Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)data.getExtras().get("data");
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
