File not found inside "/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/"

Question

I am accessing a file from " /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/1565704523555.jpg ". When I check if the file exists it tells me that the file was not found.
I have given all run-time permissions.

When I list all files from " /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/ " I can see the file in that directory.

Whenever I use " Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+/Pictures "
I can access all the files from this folders and it shows that the file exists.

I am trying this on an emulator.

Answer 1

Use Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) instead of Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString()+/Pictures .

And if you want to use your private application pictures directory use context.getExternalFilesDir(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) , where context is Android Context
