Finally, I figured it out. Prerequisites: AIR runtime 24+ Android 6+ APK must be published with WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission (otherwise it is automatically DENIED – that what I was stuck at) Then, this code works for me just fine, it displays Android’s “Grant Permission” dialog and then outputs GRANTED or DENIED with regard to my choice. … Read more

This issue can also be a result of having SELinux enabled. This can be solved using: chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/directory_to_write chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/directory_to_write chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/directory_to_write Edit: You can find the old explanation at https://web.archive.org/web/20150927091100/https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Managing_Confined_Services/sect-Managing_Confined_Services-The_Apache_HTTP_Server-Types.html or https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/managing_confined_services/sect-managing_confined_services-the_apache_http_server-types However if you are on anything like Redhat 8 or newer, you might want … Read more

You could also encrypt it, but you still have a similar … Read more
