[UiAutomator] Permission denied when taking screen shot. about testing-samples HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi. I found a decision.

1. You should add permissions in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

1. Input in console

adb shell pm grant com.example.android.testing.uiautomator.your_app android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

adb shell pm grant com.example.android.testing.uiautomator.your_app android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
3. And now you can take a screenshot

all above i have done .but can't slove the problem

Hi @otw
We use UiAutomator 2.0 to take screenshot, and found this issue again, dependencies as below:

compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1'

androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.uiautomator:uiautomator-v18:2.1.2'

Do you have any suggestion to solve this problem, or the higher library has already solved this issue?
Thanks.
