Do I need to attach " file:/// " before /storage … ?

Thanks! :blush:

I have no idea about that…but shall try tomorrow…

If image component shows picture then everything is correct and will work…I will try tomorrow and share results here

It’s my pleasure.

Apparently you are getting a different path on your device and this code will not work on other devices, as in my it already contains /storage/emulated/0

Secondly, I get error at app launch if I use only this bloks

This perfectly works for me :smiley:

TBH, I am developing this app for myself.
Sometimes I capture a screenshot on my phone, just for sake, let’s consider it’s a screenshot of a Dribbble shot, featuring an app’s UI which I am interested in. Now, I want it to be opened on my PC’s chrome browser, to make myself able to view it side-by-side along with developing apps.

I came along an idea, which is very simple as follows -

  • First, capture screenshot, and open photo gallery.
  • Then tap “share” there, and choose my app.
  • The app would receive the image, and display it. Now the main process begins.
  • The image would be uploaded to Cloudinary, and it will return it’s URL.
  • The URL would be shortened with the help of bitly.com’s URL shortening API, and I will get the short URL to the image. (Thanks to @techyguyhelp’s amazing method :+1: )
  • Then I would open the URL in my chrome browser, and get the image :smiley:

Thanks a lot everyone! :blush:

P.S. I knew apps like this already existed, but I wanted to build one myself :cat:

My App doesn’t need a timer to get the correct path and display the image.

Oh, Sorry I forgot to hide it :sweat_smile:

It is required in further processes of my app :sweat_smile:

Thanks! :blush:

There is something wrong in FileTools.
Can you try that with TaifunFile?

Here is my solution that runs on all (my) devices.
(Android 5, 7, 8, 9, 10).

And for your specific device, this should be the solution:

I just noticed that I never posted this however, here you go

Probably because of this (two slashes)

it becomes this /storage/emulated/0//DCIM/Screenshots/20200229_10934.jpg
