android - Using osmdroid without getting access to external storage

Question

In my app I am using osmdroid for working with map. Map tiles are downloaded and kept in /storage/osmdroid. The application requires permissions WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. If I deny access to storage, map is not shown. Is any way to show map without access to phone memory?

For solving this problem I just added into my application class next code:

        @Override
            public void onCreate() {
            ...
            org.osmdroid.config.IConfigurationProvider osmConf = org.osmdroid.config.Configuration.getInstance();
            File basePath = new File(getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath(), "osmdroid");
            osmConf.setOsmdroidBasePath(basePath);
            File tileCache = new File(osmConf.getOsmdroidBasePath().getAbsolutePath(), "tile");
            osmConf.setOsmdroidTileCache(tileCache);
            ...
        }

This code changes the path of OSM cache from external to internal( getCacheDir())
