[Mohit Narwani]

01-18 22:36:18.547 15633 15678 I python  :  PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/storage/emulated/0/Download/devices.csv'
01-18 22:36:18.547 15633 15678 I python  : Python for android ended.

The code i used 

from kivy.utils import platform

if platform == "android":
    from android.permissions import request_permissions,Permission
   
    def call(permission,results):
        if all([res for res in results]):
            print("GOT ALL PERMISSIONS")
        else:
            print("did not get all permissions")
    request_permissions([Permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE])

READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is obsolete

There are two different types of storage, they are not the same

Yes sorry for confusion. I mean shared storage

You can't access Shared Storage using File operations, there is a package that allows you to copy to/from Shared Storage.

Read the Shared Storage section in the docs.

For permissions, it depends on the build api  (and for reading which app owns the file), you can read more in the last sub-section of the Stared Storage section of the link above.
