Are you saying it didn’t work for me? The image thumbnail was displayed in the compiled app. I was asked for a couple of permissions.
I’d have to reinstall the app again to see…
Permission requested:
Display of thumbnail:
thumbnail image stored to:
/storage/emulated/0/thumbnail.jpg
Yes, this is the only one and its asking ONLY for READ permission.
This is what I get from @TimAi2 aia file and building his aia to apk works
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>Are we talking about this app:
If so, it doesn’t work, because only READ permission is granted.
It doesn’t matter, that WRITE is declared in the Manifest, it’s not ask for it:
adminbolo1_revised2.apk (4.8 MB)
As you will see, you never get WRITE permission with this app.
I put the video here: /storage/emulated/0/Download/I love you.mp4
ooo, the thumbnail could be left over from companion testing…
No. just tested compiled app again and it created a new one, I must have write permission 
Did you test my APK? Does it work for you?
… so what is going on here, I just took your aia and build apk
will android version make a difference ? I’m am using 7.
No, if API > 22
I had to make a video with the device camera. Couldn’t get the ily video to show up in the video picker
(EDIT - it has now shown up and works and makes a thumbnail)
What do you get here (true/false?):
I get WRITE granted = false
but this permission is not present in Tim’s aia …
or where does it come from?
… and even with this permission request it would not work after the first start of the app, the app would have to be closed and restarted so that it works, as I mentioned before.
Try the above apk
Yes, works …
