mobilePickPhoto on Android

[Dan Friedman]

Panos,

Here’s an update…  I met in person with my client with his Samsung Galaxy S9+ running Android 9.  My standalone built with 9.0.4 rc3 is failing on his device.  I call mobilePickPhoto "camera", and the camera does come up.  I take the picture, the screen flashes, and then the camera is ready to take another photo.  The photos are being added to his photo library.  It doesn’t return to the app.  If I cancel the camera, it returns to the app and I get “cancel” as the result.  There must be something different about this particular device.  Do you have any insight or things I might try?

Anyone out there with a Samsung Galaxy S9+ running Android 9 that can confirm mobilePickPhoto is or isn’t working?

-Dan

Panos,

Thank you for the reply.  This version fixed the issue on several of our devices.   However, my client is saying it’s failing on his Samsung Galaxy S9+ running Android 9.  I have verified that he has the updated build (made with LC 9.0.4 rc 2) installed on his device.   He says he has made no software or hardware modifications to the device but is still having the same issue.  Perhaps there is a different issue with camera access with this device?

Hello Dan,

This sounds like https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21826, affecting only specific Android devices, and has been fixed in LC 9.0.4 RC-1+

Kind regards,
Panos

Greetings!    I am calling mobilePickPhoto "camera" on a Android device.   If I am running Android version 7.0, everything works great.   If I am running Android 8.0, then I get an empty back where length(image 1) is 0.   Using LiveCode 9.0.3.   Anyone know of an issue with mobilePickPhoto on late versions of Android.   FWIW, mobilePickPhoto "library" works fine on all versions of Android.

Thanks in advance,
-Dan
