Library not working on Android Q (API 29)

[siralam]

Hey guys, simply by adding android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" to your <application> tag in AndroidManifest should fix the problem for now. Anyone tried?

[siralam]

Guess for now you would have to lower the target SDK version, but I will make it in the future version. Thanks for the report!

Having the same issue here. when are you going to fix it for Q api 29?
what else can be done to get around it?

Ran into this myself. You can get around this by feeding glide the Uri instead of the path

how to do this?

It's one of the overloaded methods ... Can't remember off the top of my head. Make sure you use the latest glide too.

Hi, just tried it with passing the uri. Still doesn't work. Any workaround for the mean time?

Hi, works great! Thank you very much.

Guys, yesterday I spent quite some time looking into this and I still cannot find a way to do it perfectly in all versions. I think there are still quite a lack of resources about this topic in the community, and even the Android documentation has not updated yet 🤷‍♂

So for now I decided to just leave it as the original way and just use android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true".

Seems to work fine with glide.

    @Override
    public void loadImage(Uri imageUri, ImageView ivImage)
    {
        Glide.with(this).load(imageUri).into(ivImage);
    }

but you need to do some magic in public void onSingleImageSelected(Uri uri, String tag) to be able to do something with the image afterwards. Mainly copying the image to local cache using file descriptor. You can read more about it here:

After doing those things it works as intended for me without needing the android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
