I want to take an user Screenshot, I used this code. I was take 3 permission, READ_EXTERNAL_STORE,WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORE, and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. Problem not fix. It show open failed: EPERM (Operation not permitted)

public void tackeAndSaveScreenShot(Activity mActivity) {
        View MainView = mActivity.getWindow().getDecorView();
        MainView.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
        MainView.buildDrawingCache();
        Bitmap MainBitmap = MainView.getDrawingCache();
        Rect frame = new Rect();
        mActivity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(frame);
        //to remove statusBar from the taken sc
        int statusBarHeight = frame.top;
        //using screen size to create bitmap
        int width = mActivity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
        int height = mActivity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
        Bitmap OutBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(MainBitmap, 0, statusBarHeight, width, height - statusBarHeight);
        MainView.destroyDrawingCache();
        try {
            String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
            OutputStream fOut = null;
            //you can also using current time to generate name
            String name="YourName";
            File file = new File(path, name + ".png");
            fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
            OutBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 1000, fOut);
            fOut.flush();
            fOut.close();
            //this line will add the saved picture to gallery
            MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage(getContentResolver(), file.getAbsolutePath(), file.getName(), file.getName());
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
When I check on my Logcat. they show the problem is in
fOut = new FileOutputStream(file);
I get permission properly.
private void userPermission2(){
        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
                != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] {Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
                    Manifest.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE},REQUEST_CODE1);
    @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE && grantResults.length > 0
        && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
            Toast.makeText(this, "Permission Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            userPermission2();
        }else {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Permission Granted", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
I tried many why but don'work. Every time is the same problem.
The log is.

                Since Android 11 (API 30) you no longer have full access to all storage with those permissions: developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage. Either target Android 10 or read and understand that page. There's no trivial "replace that code and it will work" type fix.

Change to:
            String path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOCUMENTS).toString();
And for Android 10 devices add android:legacyExternalStorage="true" to application tag in manifest file.
For Android 13+ devices you do not need any permission.
