[jaekwangLee]

Version

Tell us which versions you are using:

• react-native-image-crop-picker v0.23.0
• react-native v0.58.3

Platform

Tell us to which platform this issue is related

• Android

Expected behaviour

I hope to work like this...

1. User have to agree with WRITE_EXTERNAL_PERMISSION (<---in my code, not image-crop-picker)
2. User select any image in my flatlist
3. openCropper work
4. return, cropped image info

Actual behaviour

1, 2, 3 is OK. very good.
But, If i selected any image and then press the ok button,
return error ...

Error: /storage/emulated/0/Pictures/new_filename.jpg (Permission denied)

Any updates about it? I have the same issue with react-native v0.60.4 and react-native-image-crop-picker v0.25.0

[matamicen]

First of all, thanks guys for this library :)

@Obi1Kennoby
@jaekwangLee

We have the same error in RN 0.60.4 with v0.25.0:
'/storage/emulated/0/Pictures/8ec90c24-e914-4b1e-b787-b27425e1fca1.jpg (Permission denied)'

Here is the code, it exit thru the CATCH sentence:

  ImagePicker.openCropper({
                    path: data.uri,
                    width: 1000,
                    height: 1000
                  }).then(image => {
                    console.log(image);

                    data.uri = image.path;
                    console.log('uri de foto: '+ data.uri);

Guys, We solved the problem asking for Storage Permission before with react-native-permissions library:

 Permissions.request('storage').then(res => {
           
            
          });

I don't know if it is becasue the new version of the library or the new version of React Native or the Android 8.1 ... just don't know, We couldn't go deep on this, but this issue was solved on Android for us. No more permission problem and the library is working fine again :)

Hope this helps.

[Obi1Kennoby]

I have solved the problem with really similar approach as @matamicen did. Just didn't use third-party dependency.

const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.check(PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
      
if (granted) {
// ...
}

Anyway I think this issue should be reopened as it's just a workaround, the problem is still in the library

[Obi1Kennoby]

After continue investigation I found the problem is in android native code side. To put it simply - openCropper does not grant WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission as openPicker or openCamera do. That's why if you call for example openCamera and after it call openCropper it will work fine, because permissions already granted by openCamera API.
I created a PR with a fix

[yong0726]

Hi,

the error happens in Android Q regardless of "storage" permission.

The workaround is setting requestLegacyExternalStorage to true in Androidmanifest.xml
<application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ... >

Hey I am getting this error

Got error in cropping Error: Unknown error

I am first requesting permission for

const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
      PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE,
      {
        title: 'Share image',
        message: 'This app would like read media from storage.',
        buttonPositive: 'Please accept bare mortal',
      },
    ); 

and then calling ImagePicker.openCropper but it is not opening.
Any suggestions please?

[kristijantomic]

@hackrx , you should add WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

and not request permission by your self as the module will popup the message for you

Also for Android 10 you could chack this

[hackrx]

@ktomi42 Thanks for the quick reply but I have already added this in AndroidManifest.xml

I just want to ensure if the app has permission. And I am getting this output

[hackrx]

Also for Android 10 you could chack this

I tried adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" but then I got an error in build

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

[hackrx]

Hey @ktomi42 I solved this issue, actually I was setting unnecessary arguments to it, which was causing an error

await ImagePicker.openCropper({
      // path: this.state.filePath,
      path: this.state.filePath,
      width: widthOfImage,
      height: heightOfImage,
      // cropperTintColor: PrimaryColor,
      // // cropping: true,
      // cropperStatusBarColor: BlackColor,
      // freeStyleCropEnabled: true,
      // waitAnimationEnd: true,      //<-------------------
      // includeBase64: false,
      // // loadingLabelText: 'Loading please wait',
      // mediaType: 'photo',
      // cropperActiveWidgetColor: PrimaryColor,
      // cropperToolbarTitle: 'Crop image',
      // cropperToolbarColor: WhiteColor,
      // cropperToolbarWidgetColor: 'blue',
    }).then((image) => {
        console.log('Got cropped image ', image);
        
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.log('Got error in cropping', err);
      });

But now it is not returning the cropped image. #1435

[kristijantomic]

This is what i put if i would like to crop an image:

const opts = {
  mediaType: 'photo',
  multiple: false,
  cropping: true,
  width: THUMBNAIL_SIZE,
  height: THUMBNAIL_SIZE,
  compressImageQuality: 0.4,
  compressImageMaxWidth: 800,
  compressImageMaxHeight: 800,
  // IOS only
  forceJpg: true
};

const res = await ImagePicker.openCamera(opts);

const res = await ImagePicker.openCamera(opts);

But what if you have an imageURL like file:///storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Images/IMG-20201012-WA0003.jpg and you want to crop this image? , can you please check if cropping is working for you? I have also reported a bug #1435 .

I am experiencing this bug on android haven't tested on iPhone (Since I am a Linux user).
Are you developing for android also? If you don't mind can you confirm this on android also, please?

@ktomi42 you just gave me a hope, can share a little code of your file? like how you are calling this (ImagePicker.openCropper()), are you using functional or class compoenent, are u calling this in componentDidMount (if you are using class component) , ... I am just curious about this.
Here is my code

ImageUpload.js

import ImagePicker from 'react-native-image-crop-picker';
import ImageResizer from 'react-native-image-resizer';
class NewPostUpload extends PureComponent {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      filePath: this.props.filePath

        : this.props.sharedImages 
        ? this.props.sharedImages.value
        : null,
      defaultUri: DefaultAdd,

    this.mount = false;
  }

  cropper = () => {

      compressImageQuality: 1,
      cropperActiveWidgetColor: PrimaryColor,
      cropperStatusBarColor: PrimaryColor,
    };
  };

  
  //when app received image from another app
  getSharedImage = () => {
    ImageResizer.createResizedImage(this.state.filePath, 1000, 800, 'JPEG', 100)
      .then((response) => {

....styles,

[kristijantomic]

I did nothing but copied the example from the readme.
I would suggest installing react-native-fs and before you call the cropper check if the file exists on the path you provide.

Cheers

Hi,

the error happens in Android Q regardless of "storage" permission.

The workaround is setting requestLegacyExternalStorage to true in Androidmanifest.xml
<application android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ... >

Thanks, it works for me )
