Question

I’m taking sms backup using this

public void smsbackup() throws IOException
    {
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream("/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db");

        File dir = new File("/mnt/sdcard/bcfile");
        dir.mkdirs();

        OutputStream output = new FileOutputStream("/data/data/com.android.app/files/");

        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int length;
        while ((length = in.read(buffer))>0) 
        {
            output.write(buffer, 0, length);
        }
        output.flush();
        output.close();
        in.close();
    }

It throws an exception like permission denied I don’t know what permission will i give. Anyone tell me? Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

You will need

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

because of

File dir = new File("/mnt/sdcard/bcfile");

I wonder if you can ever access: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
