Problem

Android returns HEIF formatted images (ignores encodingType)

On a

  • Pixel6,

  • { encodingType : Camera.EncodingType.JPEG }
  • getPicture() returns images in HEIF format (both FILE_URI and DATAURL) in HEIF format
  • HTML IMG cannot load HEIF format images

What is expected to happen?

  • getCamera should respect encodingType JPEG and return JPEG image

What does actually happen?

Images returned in HEIF format, HTML img.src = "" fails (calls error handler with 'unsupported format')

  • same for both mediaTypes

Two more things:

These are photos, not videos

Appears to work sometimes for local pictures (on the device), but not when downloading from Google Photos (the user wouldn't know the difference).
