Start by creating a basic project in Android Studio using the 'blank project' template. This will create all the necessary project structure and configuration files.
You should be aware that an app on an unrooted device only has access to very specific parts of the filesystem.

In terms of file copying, some pointers here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9292954/how-to-make-a-copy-of-a-file-in-android

how to fix

Deleted User · Jan 7, 2019

File name looks odd MAINACTIVITY.JAVA.
Java is case sensitive and class MainActivity should be in a file called MainActivity.java

aio developers · Jan 7, 2019

how where :-(.
didnt see it

aio developers · Jan 7, 2019

THUS is it @LV426

GameTheory · Jan 7, 2019

Check to see if you have the layout set in your onCreate() method. Something like this...

Java:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

GameTheory · Jan 7, 2019

Ok in your MainActivity.java change the following from...

Java:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Change it to this...

Java:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

OwO

aio developers · Jan 7, 2019

That's because the main.xml needs a proper layout for your MainActivity. If you switch it back to activity_main then your MainActivity will not have a layout.

Just to be sure. Is there a layout file called activity_main.xml?

tried to fix but this happend

Any code for that @GameTheory

GameTheory · Jan 7, 2019

Sorry I'm working on a couple apps at the moment so I'm in and out of the forums.

Do you have a way of posting code instead of screenshots? Because it's gonna very hard for anyone to help you this way and gonna take very long.

aio developers · Jan 7, 2019

ok let me post code

aio developers · Jan 7, 2019

Code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center">

    <TextView
        android:text="@string/hello_world"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <Button

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="PORT"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/main"
        android:layout_below="@+id/main" />

</LinearLayout>

THE ABOVE IS MAIN.XML
the one below is MainActivity.java

Code:

package com.speedevs.mtkporting;

    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;

                int actionChoice = 2;

Ok so the issue before was that you had all your code in the onCreate() method which made your app crash. So I moved some things around just to get your app at least running. I don't know if your code works for copying files. You can try it and make whatever adjustments needed. I think you may have to request permissions at run time to copy files.

Java:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    // your sd card
    String sdCard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
    // the file to be moved or copied
    File sourceLocation = new File (sdCard + "/sample.txt");
    // make sure your target location folder exists!
    File targetLocation = new File (sdCard + "/MyNewFolder/sample.txt");

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

    public void copyFile(View view) {
        try {
            copy(sourceLocation, targetLocation);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void copy(File src, File dst) throws IOException {
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
        try {
            OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dst);
            try {
                // Transfer bytes from in to out
                byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                int len;
                while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                    out.write(buf, 0, len);
                }
            } finally {
                out.close();
            }
        } finally {
            in.close();
        }
    }

}

XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <Button
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:onClick="copyFile"
        android:text="COPY FILE" />

</LinearLayout>

Well it's late now so I'll swing by here tomorrow.
