App gets stuck if permission is revoked #43

Description

@aper-project

Hi, there, I found NotePad v1.5.4 (downloaded from F-Droid) getting stuck if the permission is denied.

I seems that it is related to the dangerous permission android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and is triggered during the following call chain:

org.openintents.notepad.activity.SaveFileActivity.onCreate(android.os.Bundle)void
  org.openintents.notepad.activity.SaveFileActivity.getFilenameFromNoteTitle(android.net.Uri)android.net.Uri
    org.openintents.notepad.activity.SaveFileActivity.getSdCardPath()java.io.File
      android.os.Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()java.io.File

This call chain does not involves either permission checking (via checkSelfPermission) nor permission request (via requestPermissions) to the corresponding permission, which may produce unexpected consequence.

Reproduce bug

In fact, I found this lack of permission management causes the app getting stuck on my Samsung device, following the steps:

  1. enter the app and click "create note" at top-right
  2. type some texts
  3. click "save to sd card" on the top-right option menu
  4. select deny on the pop-up window (which requests a storage permission) and the app gets stuck

Could you help me review this issue? If you need more information, I may make a video for this. Very thanks!
