Java – ENOENT (No such file or directory) when there are files there

ENOENT (No such file or directory) when there are files there… here is a solution to the problem.

ENOENT (No such file or directory) when there are files there

I’m trying to share PNG with ShareActionProvider in Android. When I open the PNG for the URI, it says file not found.
Open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory) Even though I’ve gone into the file system and seen it for myself. I’ve tried it on my phone and AVD but I get a save error. I looked around but didn’t find an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

This is where I tried to open the file :

 File file = new File(getFilesDir()+"wifiqr/", "QRCode.png");
                file.setReadable(true, false);
                Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(file);
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
                intent.setType("image/*");
                intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM,uri);
                provider.setShareIntent(intent);

I’ll save it here if it helps:

 String fileName = getFilesDir()+"/wifiqr/" + "QRCode.png";
                etSSID.setText(fileName);
                OutputStream stream = null;
                try {
                    stream = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
                    bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 80, stream);
                    stream.close();
                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

Finally, the error log:

Solution

For example, As stated in openFileOutput, getFilesDir() is specific to that particular application (that is, other applications cannot read it) (according to getFilesDir). its documentation returns the same directory).

If you are trying to share files across applications, follow the Sharing Files training guide to ensure that other applications can access your files.
