I am having trouble uploading to my folder because of a permissions error
Here is my error:

Here is my code:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Button upload;
private static final String ACCESS_TOKEN = "<ACCESS_TOKEN>";
//DbxRequestConfig config = new DbxRequestConfig("dropbox/java-tutorial");
DbxRequestConfig config = DbxRequestConfig.newBuilder("dropbox/java-tutorial")
.withHttpRequestor(OkHttp3Requestor.INSTANCE)
.build();
DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, ACCESS_TOKEN);
private String outputFile = null;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[] {android.Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, 1);
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
upload = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
upload.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
File patternDirectory = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath().toString()+"/test.txt");
patternDirectory.mkdirs();
String filename = "test.txt";
outputFile = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/test.txt";
String string = "Hello world!";
FileOutputStream outputStream;
try {
outputStream = new FileOutputStream(new File(patternDirectory.getAbsolutePath().toString()+"/test.txt"),true);
outputStream.write(string.getBytes());
outputStream.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Creating file not working");
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(patternDirectory.getAbsolutePath().toString()+"/test.txt");
FileMetadata metadata = client.files().uploadBuilder("/test.txt").uploadAndFinish(in);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Upload file not working");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
}
Okay I did that, but now I am getting this error:
