Thanks … the delay was the trick … everything was fine for me till i was testing on Android and got the dreaded black image. The delay did the trick … hope 300 is enough on all the devices 
Cheers!

Did you try the delay?
I am having the same problem
Below I have my listener for both choosing and taking a picture, and the function displayPic() that it calls:
local function displayPic() if picture ~= nil then print("pic exists") display.remove(picture) picture = nil end if picture == nil then picture = display.newImage("pet.jpg",system.TemporaryDirectory) -- Display the image from the temporary directory print("DISPLAYING NEW PIC") end print( "photo w,h = " .. picture.width .. "," .. picture.height ) local wantedHeight = H/4 local scale = wantedHeight/picture.height picture.xScale, picture.yScale = scale, scale picture.x, picture.y = W/2, 3\*H/4 addStoryGroup:insert(picture) end
Listener:
local function onPhotoComplete( event ) print("onPhotoComplete called") if ( event.completed ) then local imageGroup = display.newGroup() local image = event.target image.x, image.y = W/2, H/2 local wantedHeight = 100 local scale = wantedHeight/image.height image.xScale, image.yScale = scale,scale imageGroup:insert(image) --display.save( imageGroup, "pet.jpg", system.TemporaryDirectory ) local function delayFunc() if system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "Mac OS X" or system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "iPhone OS" then display.save(imageGroup, "pet.jpg", system.TemporaryDirectory) elseif system.getInfo( "platformName" ) == "Android" then display.save(image, "pet.jpg", system.TemporaryDirectory) end print("got here") displayPic() display.remove(imageGroup) imageGroup = nil end timer.performWithDelay(300, delayFunc ) --delay added to prevent black square from appearing on android end end
The image displayed on android devices results in a black rectangle. When I insert a group into the temp directory, then it is just black, vs when I insert the image on its own it is a tiny pixel inside the black rectangle.
Differing from the other posts here, I am trying to scale the image before adding it to the temp group. Before when I was adding it full resolution, it was working fine. It still works fine for iOS.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
