Question

Good day.

I need to save PKCS10 CSR in the external storage card.

However, the following code shows an error

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/sdcard0pkcs10.req: open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system)

While AndoidManifest.xml correctly includes

I feel that the problem is directory path since it shows 0 rather than /

Just modify the line

pemEncodeToFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"pkcs10.req", request, null);

to

pemEncodeToFile(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/pkcs10.req", request, null);
