To use function renameTo() your source and destination should be on same mount point see android doc https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/File#renameTo(java.io.File)

enter image description here

Hope it will help you to resolve the issue.

Make sure is directory present in storage. you can use the following code

File f1= new File(sdcard_current_path, filename);
File f2= new File(sdcard_rename_path, newfilname); 
boolean isSuccess=f1.renameTo(f2);

First add this line to AndroidManifest.xml:

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

Then use your code.
