Android 11, image picker doesn't have a selection after picking an image (from external storage)
The following error only seems to happen on Android 11. After imagepicker.present() and selecting an image from external storage the selection is empty. When picking an image from internal storage everything works as expected.
Setup and code: I have tried with the following confuriations: Image picker 2.0.2, and 3.0.0
/// 1 android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (and manually giving the app /// full permission) "
requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ///
//// 2 android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ////
/// 3 android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO ///
And public pickImage(options?: OptionsCommon, hostView?: View): Promise<MediaFile> { // Create image picker const p = imagePicker.create({ mode: 'single', maximumNumberOfSelection: 1, mediaType: ImagePickerMediaType.Image, }, hostView); // Hostview is important to render on top of a modal
// Authorization is required (allow app to ...)
return p.authorize()
.then(() => p.present()) // Present the imagepicker
.then((selection) => {
console.log(selection);
const imagePickerSelection = selection[0];
return Promise.all([Promise.resolve(imagePickerSelection.asset), isIOS ?
ImageSource.fromAsset(imagePickerSelection.asset) : null]);
})
.then((f: [ImageAsset, ImageSource]) => this.processPickedImage(f, options))
.catch(reason => Promise.reject(this.processPickingFailure(reason)));
}
on any other device then android 11, or when selecting from internal storage the console.log() prints the selection as expected. When picking from external storage, and only on android 11 there is no selection.
@sommistica Have you solved this problem?
If I recall correctly I did, although I don't remember how anymore. I'll check the code tommorow to see, and if I actually did anything.
Hey. Sorry to disappoint you. I didn't touch the relevant bit of code anymore since this ticket. I am not at work atm, but i remember now that i created this ticket and put the bug in our app's backlog.
