Android File not Found Exception Kotlin-CodePudding

So I have a really simple project:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    val bundle = ActivityOptionsCompat.makeCustomAnimation(applicationContext, android.R.anim.fade_in, android.R.anim.fade_out).toBundle()
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    val myObj = File("C:\\Users\\user\\Desktop\\k.txt")
    val myReader = Scanner(myObj)
}

and I have a "k.txt" file on my desktop. Whenever val myReader = Scanner(myObj) comes it throws a:

 Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\user\Desktop\k.txt (No such file or directory)

why is that?

thanks for any help!

CodePudding user response：

You can't directly open or create file object from you local machine.

CodePudding user response：

You can not access storage computer

You coppy file in internal storage or external storage ( Phone Storage or SD card Storage)

Next step : Read file internal storage

Hope it`s fully
