I am having trouble while opening the gallery using linking on android devices. It works perfectly on iOS. I am using this.
openPhotos = () =>{
switch(Platform.OS){
case "ios":
Linking.openURL("photos-redirect://");
break;
case "android":
Linking.openURL("content://media/internal/images/media");
break;
default:
console.log("Could not open gallery app");
}
}
A pop is shown on android, and after selecting photos, a black screen appears.here is the screenshot for the same.
You can use this package https://github.com/react-native-image-picker/react-native-image-picker
This package have methods you can use to open gallery and select an image!
This method launchImageLibrary(options?, callback)
is useful for this.
Here an example for using this method:
RNImagePicker.launchImageLibrary({}, (response) => {
if (response.didCancel) {
// user cancel image selection
} else if (response.error) {
// error
} else {
// her you access the image with response object
console.log(response);
this.setState({
image: {
uri: response.uri,
},
});
}
});
