App crash after downloading an image about media HOT 8 CLOSED

Have you set the following permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml?

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" />

If so, are you able to reproduce the same error on the example app in the example/ folder of this repo?

from media.

Yes, I have those permissions in the android/app AndroidManifest.xml (first screenshot).

When it comes to the example/ folder, I encountered two problems:

1. Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@capacitor-community/media' in '/Users/francesco.delgiudice/Downloads/media-master/example/src/components' in the terminal on ionic cap sync android (second screenshot)
2. Caused by: org.gradle.api.resources.MissingResourceException: Could not read script '/Users/francesco.delgiudice/Downloads/media-master/example/android/capacitor-cordova-android-plugins/cordova.variables.gradle' as it does not exist. in Android Studio while builiding/running the app (third screenshot).

Am I missing something?

Run npm install and npm run build in the root directory first, and then go to the example directory and run npm install and ionic cap sync.

from media.

Oh ok, I didn't know I had to build the root directory and I didn't read it in the README.

Anyway, the example folder works flawlessly but as shown in the screenshot I'm using the methods in the same way so I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

The first time I try to save it asks the user for permission and, even if granted, it doesn't save the image.
The second time it does save the image (since now it has the permissions to do it) but crashes (maybe tries to follow through and show the folder like in your example folder) or sometimes it doesn't crash but doesn't follow through, simply saving the image.

Do you have maybe other tips?

Media.createAlbum() does not return an album object, so that part of your code might be causing issues. You have to getAlbums() after creating an album. Let me know what the behavior is after that, and share your new code, and we can go from there.

This is the code right now. It seems to be working sometimes (so a little bit better than before I guess) but the console.log aren't working so I am still confused

from media.

Honestly, this code looks fine, so I'm not sure. However, this is almost certainly a problem with your specific configuration, since I've tested this on multiple devices and the emulator and it works. If you can share a minimal reproducible example in a repo (minimal app with the bug), I can debug this directly. (Or if you've already fixed it, or moved on, please let me know!)

from media.

I couldn't find a bug and it still didn't work so clearly something in the configuration isn't working properly but I can't manage to find it since everything else works. At a certain point I gave up and found a different way to download the images without using a library. Thanks anyway
