I have just tested my aia on Android 11 in Companion and it works OK.

How are you testing ?

Here is a blank aia project (you will need to create and add your own script url and create your own spreadsheet)

upload_CameraImage_Location_Data_GD_blank.aia (36.4 KB)

Ok, thank you. Let me have a look at file paths...

[deff_brian]

oke thank you i appreciate that

[TIMAI2]

Try this simple camera app:

CameraTest

The app will ask for two sets of permissions, you must grant both!

I have tested compiled on Android 10 and 11. Does it work OK for you ?

and read this:

"Error 201, the camera did not return an image" on Samsung device, Android 8.0

according to the release notes the camera bug for Android 10 already was fixed in February [Bug] Fixed an issue on Android 10 that prevented the Camera component from working correctly. I don’t remember, if I tested to take a picture since then, but now I get the error “Error 201, the camera did not return an image” on Samsung Galaxy A(2017) running on Android 8.0 while testing in the companion app (latest version 2.58) as well as after building the app. example project attached cameratest…

Do you have a Pictures folder ?

[deff_brian]

yes its work for me

[deff_brian]

i have pictures folder

[TIMAI2]

Here ?

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/<packagename>.CameraTest/files/Pictures

you can see this in a File Manager on Android 10 but not Android 11.

Check the similar file path for your compiled app that throws the 201 error....

Do you have a Pictures folder

This is automatically created by the Camera component if it has been (accidentally) deleted, also in the ASD.

Yes, I am wondering if this is a device issue, I am not having any problems at my end. I compiled and installed my GPS/Image project on Android 11 Google Pixel 4A and it works fine, but doesn't work on the OP's device. Unless not all the permissions were granted when requested....

[deff_brian]

i have folder from cameratest.apk ,but i dont have folder from my app ,

[Anke]

@deff_brian

i have folder from cameratest.apk ,but i dont have folder from my app

Unclear.
Upload the APK to Google Drive and post the link here. So we can check whether it is related to the app or your device.

[deff_brian]

ok i will upload the app

[deff_brian]

this is the app

CitizenReport.apk

[TIMAI2]

First up, on installation....???

[Anke]

You should remove the registration procedure ... for testing purposes ...
