 br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/net/arp"));

I add to manifest :

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

add all permission are granded also I add :

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        if (Settings.System.canWrite(ListOfTerminalsActivity.this)) {
        } else {
            Intent intent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_WRITE_SETTINGS);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("package:" + getPackageName()));
            intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            try {
                startActivity(intent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException ignored) {
            }
        }
    }
