Opening Kindle Gallery

Hello Corona Community!

When I use the following line - media.show( media.PhotoLibrary, onComplete ) - on the Amazon Kindle, it doesn’t pull up the gallery. Is there a way to pull up the gallery on the Kindle? [import]uid: 14218 topic_id: 37382 reply_id: 67382[/import]

Do you have the android permissions set?

Remember Latest Builds remove android permissions by default.

It may be a good idea to try to adding this error handler code and see what if you get any details.

I’m actually using the latest Daily Build - Build 2012.971. With the latest daily build, do I still need to set permissions? I thought they were added by default on this version.

I started developing my latest app with this build so I decided to stay with it until I finished my app.

Based on the article, Unwanted permissions were removed. Because people would complain about them and leave bad feedback.

You should look in the corona Media sample from the latest build. The permissions should be listed in either the config.lua or build.settings ( i don’t recall which ).

And if you need to add any they would be the one outlined in that sample.

They stated that they updated all the samples with the correct permissions.

Good Luck

971 still has the 3 default permissions (INTERNET, READ_PHONE_STATE and one other network one…)

If you need a permission to access the camera and photo library, you would have include it as a separate permission. The Camera sample app has this:

 android =  
 {  
 usesPermissions =  
 {  
 "android.permission.CAMERA",  
 "android.permission.WRITE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE",  
 },  
 usesFeatures =  
 {  
 { name = "android.hardware.camera", required = true },  
 { name = "android.hardware.camera.front", required = false },  
 },  
 },  

I don’t see any settings in the PhotoPicker sample app, nor did I see anything photo library related in a quick scan of the Android permissions.

You might want to google and see what you can find if it’s a permission problem. Have you tried it on other devices? [import]uid: 199310 topic_id: 37382 reply_id: 145595[/import]
