And xda developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/android-studio/noob-development-question-avc-t3283366 This is the current state of my code. I've been at this for 2 weeks and would really appreciate some help. A try-catch loop containing: //where sourceContext is passed into the FileIO class //and filename is "Test.zip" Log.d("File is", sourceContext.getFilesDir() +"/"+ fileName); File file = new File(sourceContext.getFilesDir()+"/"+ fileName); Log.d("Status", "File loaded!"); ZipFile loadedFile = new ZipFile(file); //I don't think it ever gets here successfully Log.d("Status", "ZIPFILE SHOULD BE LOADED"); Gives this in the log: 01-04 11:38:51.788 19943-19943/package_name D/File is: /data/user/0/package_name/files/1136.zip 01-04 11:38:51.788 19943-19943/package_name D/Status: File loaded!/data/user/0/package_name/files/1136.zip 01-04 11:38:51.781 19943-19943/package_name W/package_name: type=1400 audit(0.0:17007): avc: denied { open } for name="1136.zip" dev="mmcblk0p29" ino=57326 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:app_data_file:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 *This is from the caught error in the catch IOException section:* 01-04 11:38:51.790 19943-19943/package_name D/No Story File: /data/user/0/package_name/files/1136.zip: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied) Note: it says File loaded, but only because the File object is generated. Nothing else. It doesn't actually successfully load the file. If I recall correctly, I should not need any additional permissions to access the app's own directory in data/data/package_name/files/ (returned by context.getFilesDir() as /data/user/0/package_name/files/ ). The app can write *anything* to getFilesDir()'s directory just fine, the trouble comes from reading a zip file. The file is present in the target directory (otherwise I would get ENOENT instead of EACCES). How do other apps deal with this? Surely I'm not the only one who has to deal with zip files... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
