Flutter: Unhandled Exception: FileSystemException: Creation failed, path = 'Directory: '' (OS Error: Read-only file system, errno = 30)

Question

I already googling and the solution that I found are using path_provider, add permission in AndroidManifest.xml and yes I already try that. But still error in mine.

This is my function

  Future<File> _takePicture() async {
    Directory root = await getTemporaryDirectory(); // this is using path_provider
    String directoryPath = '$root/bozzetto_camera';
    await Directory(directoryPath).create(recursive: true); // the error because of this line
    String filePath = '$directoryPath/${DateTime.now()}.jpg';
    try {
      await _cameraController.takePicture(filePath);
    } catch (e) {
      return null;
    }
    return File(filePath);
  }

This is my AndroidManifest.xml

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

    <application
        ...
        android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">
        
        ...

    </application>

And this is full of the log.

Answer 1

You need to modify the directory path.

Just change the code

from

String directoryPath = '$root/bozzetto_camera';

to

String directoryPath = root.path + '/bozzetto_camera';

Answer 2

The exception occurred because you assigned a directory, not a path, to the variable named directoryPath with the label "root." In this context, "root" represents a directory, not a path. Therefore, you should obtain the path instead of the directory. Please refer to the example below for clarification.

Convert:

String directoryPath = '$root/bozzetto_camera';

To:

String directoryPath='${root.path}/bossetto_camera';
