I am testing my code in device and it is running fine. But as soon as I am adding Debug.startMethodTracing("PlaceLocator"); and Debug.stopMethodTracing(); , it is giving problem. As per log, problem is-

03-25 17:39:43.124: INFO/dalvikvm(5971): TRACE STARTED: '/sdcard/LineGraph.trace' 8192KB
03-25 17:39:43.124: ERROR/dalvikvm(5971): Unable to open trace file '/sdcard/LineGraph.trace': Permission denied

Here I like to mention that I have added <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> in the manifest so that system can write file in sd card. Where is the problem?

    Are you trying this on emulator ? If so you may want to configure your emulator with external storage.

    Or try loging into shell ‘adb shell’ and try to create a file in /sdcard/LineGraph.trace.

    You can

    echo “something” > /sdcard/LineGraph.trace

    and see if the file is created.
