ImagePicker.getPictures return error : the image file could not be opened.

Opened this issue 6 years ago · 10 comments

I've picked two images from my photo library and one of them is a broken image. I get this error : the image file could not be opened.
And then it goes straight onleave and doesnt care about my second image which is not a broken image.

Hi, any update on this issue?
We've encountered this issue on an android 10 Samsung SM-T295 but not on an android 9 Samsung SM-T385.
We have already provided storage permission to the app but on the SM-T295 the error remains.

Hi;
I have the same problem with the application when I switched to Android SDK 29. Android SDK 28 working. Is this about the application local directory?
Can anyone help?

Google has a new feature on Android Q: filtered view for external storage. A quick fix for that is to add this code in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest ... >

<application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ... >
...
