ImagePicker1 access photos - Requires WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

[f_c]

Hi Everyone,

I am using ImagePicker1 to select my canvas background image from phone photos DCIM and Pictures. But WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission is required when my test app is installed in Android version 11 (only version available to test). I tried using the following for Screen1 DefaultFileScope,

• App
• Shared
  but does not work.
  I used the Legacy and it works.

Is this (Legacy) the right way to access/read those shared pictures from DCIM and Pictures folder?

Or the ImagePicker1 has a problem when using the option Shared?

I have read related community posts and as I understand Shared option has access to DCIM and Pictures. In my case with ImagePicker1 does not work with Shared option, only in Legacy.

Thanks.

So, Ask for permission permission name = WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

Do I need to do it when using Screen1 DefaultFileScope = Shared to access/read photos from DCIM using ImagePicker1?

Update: I did try to place the permission in screen1 initialize but still does not work with Shared option.

ImagePicker1 only works with the Legacy option in my case even without Screen1.AskForPermission placed in the block.

Using Android 11.

Permission write_external_storage NOT WORKING IN android 11

Yes, but this is a bug that apparently affects all components that can store something. There is no point in declaring the WRITE permission on Android 11 as it doesn't exist on Android 11 and works the same way as the READ permission. But if WRITE permission is not declared you will get this strange error 908. This bug needs to be fixed.

And even the ImagePicker is affected, because it saves the selected image in the ASD (for whatever reason). See here.
