Exception ‘open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)’ on Android

by

I had the same problem… The <uses-permission was in the wrong place. This is right:

 <manifest>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
        ...
        <application>
            ...
            <activity> 
                ...
            </activity>
        </application>
    </manifest>

The uses-permission tag needs to be outside the application tag.
