Error: Uncaught (in promise): null

I insert latest nativescript-camera plugin
tns 3.2.1
typescript: 2.4.2
device htc 626

public takePicture() {
        if ( isAvailable() ){
            takePicture( { width: 300, height: 300, keepAspectRatio: false, saveToGallery: true } )
                .then(picture => {
                    console.dir(picture);
                    this.cameraImageSrc = picture;
                }).catch((err) => {
                //console.log("Error -> " + err.message);
            });
        }
    }

<Image row="1"
                           [src]="cameraImageSrc"
                           stretch="aspectFit"
                           margin="10"
                           width="200"
                           height="200"></Image>

I get this console:
Error: Uncaught (in promise): null

ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE flg=0x3 cmp=com.htc.camera/.CameraServiceEntry clip={text/uri-list U:content://hu.neosoft.praktiker.provider/external_files/DCIM/Camera/NSIMG_20171016_15427.jpg} (has extras)} from uid 10268 pid 28769 on display 0

Please help me what is wrong my code?

Hi @bumbella,
I tested the nativescript-camera plugin while using CameraTestAngular application on Android API level 19 and 23 and the plugin seems to work as expected.
Regarding that could you give us some more info about the device and its API level.
Also, you could try following the approach, which is used in the sample project and to verify, whether you will have the same problem.

export class AppComponent {
    public saveToGallery: boolean = true;
    public cameraImage: ImageAsset;

    onTakePictureTap(args) {
        takePicture({ width: 180, height: 180, keepAspectRatio: false, saveToGallery: this.saveToGallery })
        .then((imageAsset) => {
            let source = new ImageSource();
            source.fromAsset(imageAsset).then((source) => {
                console.log(`Size: ${source.width}x${source.height}`);
            })
            this.cameraImage = imageAsset;
        }, (error) => {
            console.log("Error: " + error)
        });
    }

I'm just facing exactly the same issue

[moritzvieli]

I have the same problem on an HTC. This issue is urgent because I know of no workaround. @NickIliev Can you reopen the issue?

This was OK with nativescript-camera 3.0.0 but fails on version 4.0.2.

[NickIliev]

@moritzvieli can you share a Playground project or a sample application /code snippet that can reproduce the issue - also please post detailed information about the used version of tns-core-modules, nativescript-camera and runtimes (the content of the project's package.json)

[andriamanarivo]

I've faced the same issue and the source of the problème is that there was no folder named camera inside the DCIM folder where the plugins want to store the pictures. After creating the camera folder, the uncaught promise error doesn't no longer appear. Le 21 mai 2018 9:13 AM, "Nick Iliev" <notifications@github.com> a écrit :

@NickIliev I created a playground project and it's working fine there: https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-ng&id=K9bfFz&v=3

I'm on it, figuring out the differences.

[moritzvieli]

I updated nativescript and the core modules to the latest version and now I'm getting these errors:
JS: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Asset '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/NSIMG_20180522_71532.jpg' cannot be found.
JS: onFailure 63 java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown image format

But it's still not working, compared to the playgrounds version. The code however is still not working with my local project. I'll investigate further...

[moritzvieli]

@NickIliev @andriamanarivo is right. as soon as I add the "Camera" folder, everything works fine. Meanwhile, I haven't figured out, why it works on the playgrounds but not on my local project. I tested it using the following setup:

tns --version
3.4.3

tns-core-modules
4.0.1

nativescript-camera
4.0.2

As stated above, It worked with a previous version of nativescript-camera. 3.2.1 is fine for example. I think, the saveToGallery-flag switched to true as default. Switching it to false is a workaround.

Update: I was looking at the wrong place, it turns out we're using another plugin for picking images, which has this bug, which could be related. NativeScript/nativescript-imagepicker#309

It also has a workaround, so please ignore my comment below :)

I just ran into this issue when trying to select an image from the library:

JS: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Asset '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/NSIMG_20190514_192513.jpg' cannot be found.
