Android how to rename File in internal storage

I got one image file from Internal Storage, example name of file is name_image_old, i want rename become name_image_new. i have tried use function renameTO() but not working. My code:

  private fun rename(from: File, to: File): Boolean {
        return from.parentFile.exists() && from.exists() && from.renameTo(to)
    }

val currentFile = File("/sdcard/currentFile.txt")
                val newFile = File("/sdcard/newFile.txt")

                if (rename(currentFile, newFile)) {
                    //Success
                    Log.i(TAG, "Success")
                } else {
                    //Fail
                    Log.i(TAG, "Fail")
                }

An easier way to do this fun File.rename(to:String):Boolean{ return renameTo(File(this.parentFile, to)) }

renameTO() doesn't work in my environment. The solution is to skip the temporary file method alltogeher, since it doesn't seem to be possible to solve in any reasonable time frame.

so i suggest not use File.renameTo() method in Internal Storage environment. Renaming a file in this environment, can do: - Copy content of the old file to new file. - Delete old file. :)
