Error While Upload Image From Galley Using Drjacky Image Picker And Retrofit 2

Question

hi guys I got an error like the one below when trying to upload an image from the galley:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: opening provider com.android.providers.media.MediaDocumentsProvider from ProcessRecord{efed650 15275:app.fadlyproject.com/u0a158} (pid=15275, uid=10158) requires that you obtain access using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or related APIs

the error comes from this line of code:

val parcelFileDescriptor =
        contentResolver.openFileDescriptor(selectedImageUri!!, "r", null) ?: return

I'm using 3rd party libraries namely DrJacky and Retrofit 2. I've added some necessary things to the manifest as below:

Dependencies :

implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0'
implementation 'com.github.Drjacky:ImagePicker:2.3.19'

Manifest :

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    image_view = findViewById(R.id.image_view)
    button_upload = findViewById(R.id.button_upload)

    image_view!!.setOnClickListener {
        openImageChooser()
    }

    button_upload!!.setOnClickListener {
        uploadImage()
    }

}

    registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) {
        if (it.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
            val uri = it.data?.data!!
            selectedImageUri = uri
            image_view!!.setImageURI(selectedImageUri)
        } else parseError(it)
    }

    ImagePicker.with(this)
        .provider(ImageProvider.BOTH)

    val inputStream = FileInputStream(parcelFileDescriptor.fileDescriptor)
    val file = File(cacheDir, contentResolver.getFileName(selectedImageUri!!))
    val outputStream = FileOutputStream(file)
    inputStream.copyTo(outputStream)

    progress_bar!!.progress = 0
    val body = UploadRequestBody(file, "image", this)
    MyAPI().uploadImage(
        MultipartBody.Part.createFormData(
            "file",
            file.name,
            body

                )
            }
        }
    })

}

override fun onProgressUpdate(percentage: Int) {
    progress_bar!!.progress = percentage

In case you don't use Crop option, you just need to add:

mGalleryUri?.let { galleryUri ->
                        contentResolver.takePersistableUriPermission(
                            galleryUri, Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
                        )
                    }

---

I'll change ACTION_GET_CONTENT to ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT on the next update.
[And if I could find a way to have both worlds(having crop and let developer use or not use takePersistableUriPermission, I'll update again.]

Answer 2

This answer is late but it might help others.

I just added .crop() to it like this.

ImagePicker.with(this)
    .crop()
    .provider(ImageProvider.BOTH)
    .setDismissListener {
        Log.d("ImagePicker", "onDismiss");
    }
    .createIntentFromDialog { profileLauncher.launch(it) }

I noticed that the error only persist when using the gallery and adding the .crop() is the only solution to it.
