Selecting photos doesnt work on Android Q

[davecoffin]

All latest...

Selecting a photo returns this error:
Asset '/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20190920_122446.jpg' cannot be found.

And doing something like this:
var img = imageSourceModule.fromFile(selected.android.toString());
results in this error:
Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20190920_122446.jpg: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

Does this have something to do with the new Scoped Storage Framework?

Setting targetSdkVersion to 28 in app.gradle solves this for now. This plugin needs to be updated to use MediaStore, or will break for anyone targeting sdk 29

Hi @davecoffin ,

I've checked the demos in this repo and all of them works fine with the Android Q 10.0 (Api 29). Can you share a bit more details about the device/emulator you are using and a sample project where we can reproduce the mentioned issue.

For anybody that finds this, @DickSmith pointed this out:

Fun fact, if you want nativescript-imagepicker to work on Android 10, gotta target it (API 29) and add this to the application declaration in the manifest:

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

@DimitarTodorov is that what I was missing?

@leo00723 yes it works. but using legacy storage is not a fix but rather a work around
