Camera - Error 201, the camera did not return an image / missing Pictures folder

Guides
#1

To avoid that the following error message occurs with the Camera component:
"Error 201, the camera did not return an image” or you don’t get an OK button after taking a picture,
because the folder “Pictures” does not exist (has been deleted by you or your users),
use these blocks:

grafik

Note: Since Android 5, this folder is no longer automatically created by the camera component.
The folder is still created with Android 4.3.

@Kodular I think this folder should be created automatically on all Android versions.

I did some more tests on serveral devices & Android versions:

  • Galaxy Note 8 (Android 9) and there is no OK button after taking a picture
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (Android 9) there is an OK button, but after pressing it I get no image
  • Galaxy Note 3 (Android 5) I get "Error 201, the camera did not return an image”
  • Motorola Moto G (Android 5.1) same error as before
  • Galaxy S6 (Android 7) as before
  • OnePlus 6 (Android 10) I get an hook (instead of OK) which is not clickable.

On all devices the Pictures folder is not created .

Should be fixed in next release.
If the directory doesnt exist it will be created automatically.

Importantly, it is necessary to use the smartphone’s native camera, if using another camera app it may not work. I tested 2 app didn’t work, but one did.

Note :

  • Android 11 up, never fired Camera After Picture. It directly fired Error Occured.
  • Because I need to compress ( resize ) image, and my camera only create ‘PNG’ file, I 've to copy first into ‘Download’ folder to make JPG. And then resize after all.

This works now but
I hope, there will be a simple method to catch CAMERA, like the old one.

Yes, as I have said several times, my approach is at best a temporary workaround. Why this fatal bug was not fixed with the 1.5.6 update remains a mystery.

I wouldn’t use my workaraound because I’d have to adjust it again later after a fix.

Please , can you tell me if this problem can occur if I export the image directly to firebase storage ?
