Bug: camera chooser shows images in wrong way
I took a portrait image, and got this:
Trying to rotate to have it nicely, it shows an even worse preview of it:
Yet if I touch it, it shows better:
Can you please allow for us to have our own mechanism of choosing images?
How did you even get the Photo Capture Function to work?
I am using the latest Android Studio 3.1.3 and the latest build tools and plug ins. I have set my project compatibility mode to Java 8 , and I am targeting API 27. Everything with my RTEditor is working fine but the Camera (Photo Capture) is not doing anything. It launches a blank activity and I am not even presented with the opportunity to take a photo.
Please contact me by email if you can help. I am using this for my App and my customers are relying on me to fix this for them.
My Email is: [email protected]
Thank you!
Sincerely Alexander Madani
@AlexanderMadani Try attached project.
BTW, it has plenty of issues with the camera, but maybe this part should be customized by you anyway.
Hello,
thank you so much for your kind support and sharing of the Zip file.
For the moment (and not having unzipped this flie yet)...A few questions please. Bear in mind that I am not a Github Expert, and even getting this awesome RTEditor project working, required my collaboration with other Experts to figure out how to include and get working.
- I appreciate the ability to be able to unzip this entire project and look at source code and somehow try to make the Camera Work. But that is like asking me to look for a Needle in a Haystack.
How come the dear Owner of this wonderful Project, will not try to fix the issues with the Camer (Photo Capture) function of his project, instead of asking me to go through and spend a Ton of Time, and most likely never ever be able to figure out what is causing it to fail (let alone how to incorporate all this stuff into my own project)?
- I assume that this zip file represents the version 1.6.7 (latest version of this Github project). What module (or Modules) are involved with the Camera Function? Sounds like it would be a really involved thing to fix? And even if a fix was found, how would I then include it into my own project (app)? Or would I have to upload the fixes to the Github repository and then it would be reviewed by the owner and if it is a valid fix, it would be included in the next released of the RTEditor (version 1.6.8 perhaps)?
Thank you

@AlexanderMadani Sorry I'm not the owner. I'm the one who reported about this bug. It's a part of the sample, so I thought it should be nice to fix this issue even in the sample, so I reported about it. I've moved away from the camera, because the requirements of the project we work on are very modest for now.
Good luck!
Okay... Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind support and reply.
I wonder why the owner is not taking some responsibility and seems to have abandoned this project. What a shame.

Hello my dear friend,
One of my friends says he has compiled your library from the source files you sent (the zip file)... and he says that he sees no problem with the Camera Capture (on his HTC 10, Android 7)
He told me that I can use this library in my dependencies until these guys at RTEditor fix the issues.
I have a couple of questions for you kindly please.
-
When you kindly sent me that Zip file (the source libraries)... ehm... what version of the RTEditor project is this ?
for example, did you send me version 1.6.1 or 1.6.6 or 1.6.7 or something later? -
I am not sure how my friend claims that the Camera is working for him using your kindly sent zip file? In my own project, I am using the latest “implementation” of this project (which I believe is version 1.6.7 and its what I am using in my build.gradle)
But when I compile and install the App and it launches my App... I go into the editor, and this version 1.6.7 does not have a working Photo Capture Camera function. So I am wondering if the zip file you sent, was a different (perhaps newer version)?
- If my friend says that I can try using this version that you kindly sent to me by email (Zip file)... how can I implement and test it?
Do I need to extract the zip file and move over a bunch of source modules? Or is there an easier way to just have a one line “implementation” of it?
Thank you so much in advance for your help ! I look forward to your kind feedback to help me.

@AlexanderMadani
- I don't understand. I just updated everything on the final version of the repository: https://github.com/1gravity/Android-RTEditor
- Maybe it works better for some devices that have near-vanilla version of the OS.
- How to implement? I didn't implement anything. Just updated some stuff.
Thank you buddy...
Forgive me as I know very very little about Github (unfortunately) ... hence my questions.
Ehm... in my own project in Android Studio, I am implementing version 1.6.7 (which I thought had the latest fixes you kindly speak of).
So I somehow got the impression that perhaps this zip file you kindly sent to me a day or so ago, was some kind of “Newer”
experimental (beta) version or something... that I had not seen on Github, or not know how to implement.
So when you kindly state below:
I just updated everything on the final version of the repository:
Am I to understand that you are referring to version 1.6.7 ? Because if the zip file you kindly sent to me is version 1.6.7 , I am already implementing that in my project locally (and I have tested it and see that the camera function is not working on my particular device -- Nexus 6, Android 7.1.1)
I am working with a friend who has unzipped your zip file and compiled your library and says that Photo Capture is working for his device (HTC 10, Android 7)
So I am trying to determine two things.
-
Is the zip file you sent, the same as what I am implementing in my project dependencies (as version 1.6.7) or is it something newer?
-
I am investigating with the help of my friend, to see if in fact what we are facing here is precisely what you stated to me in your latest email:
Maybe it works better for some devices that have near-vanilla version of the OS. <-- This very well could turn out to be true.
So this would mean that just because it is not working on my device, and one other customer who has reported to me a similar problem, that this does not mean that the Camera Photo Capture is not working.
Perhaps on devices that it is not working, something is missing? Maybe an SD-Card is required on the device, or something else before this would work.
So I have no idea at the moment, as to what is really going on. All I know is that my friend is saying it works fine on his HTC 10 (Android 7) and I need to know from you, if your Zip file is equivalent to version 1.6.7 (which as I say, I have implemented and is not working on my end)
Thx

Hello friend,
Please simply let me know if the version of the RTEditor you had kindly zipped and sent,
was version 1.6.7
Ironically, I just launched my App on my Nexus 6 (running Android 7.1.1) and the photo capture function is working !
I am not sure how or why the Camera was not responding before. I have noticed from past experience that when you first install the App (initially for a while, the Camera function does not work... but then all of a sudden sometimes it will start working) ?
So I would like to know (What version of that library did you send. Personally, right now in my app level build.gradle, I am implementing what I believe should be the latest version of the RTEditor -- Version 1.6.7
Thank you

@AlexanderMadani Again, the only things I've changed is updating all of the libraries it uses. This means I've modified only the gradle files. I didn't change the code in any way. Also, I don't know about the issue of the camera, of why it didn't work for you. I believe you shouldn't use the camera feature of the library if it got issues for you, so you should implement this part yourself.
Thank you for the information.
I think what you're basically telling me is that what you had sent me as a zip file, is in fact exactly as the implementation I'm using Which is version 1.6.7 (the current latest version of this project).
Am I correct?

@AlexanderMadani Yes. I didn't change the implementation. Only fixed the gradle files, to be able to run it with latest versions of everything.
Thank you very much for that kind confirmation.
You have just helped confirm for me, that if I use the latest implementation of RTEditor 1.6.7 (which I been testing in my local project in Android Studio for a couple days and seems to have a working camera)... That my customers should be fine and able to resume using their camera again.
The camera only started working after I implemented version 1.6.7 in my Android Studio 3.1.3 using the latest plug-ins and tools. But the only thing I had to do to get it to work was to set my project compatibility to Java 8 (from Java 7)...Otherwise I was getting compile errors.
Thank you so much once again for being so kind. I will most likely close that Github ticket Once all this stuff gets sorted out for my customers.
Best Regards Alexander Madani

OK thank you. You can't close the Github ticket. You wrote in the wrong place.
Thank you for informing me about the fact that I wrote the ticket request in the wrong section.
Can you please link me to the appropriate location to open ticket requests?
For example, the camera photo capture function requires Storage Permission before it will operate properly (open the camera for the user to be able to take a photo). So ideally, when the user selects their Camera button (for photo capture) the very first time... This RTeditor program should be asking (prompting) the user for Storage Permission (if it has not somehow been granted already). Where would I open this ticket request?
Can you please link me to the right page for such product request enhancements.
Thank you Alexander

On the top right side of this page, and of here: https://github.com/1gravity/Android-RTEditor/issues
There is a button says "new issue". Pressing it will create a new issue.
Thank you, that's what I was looking for. Much appreciated my friend.
