Bug

What is the current behavior?

UCropActivity throws an exception and closes as soon as it opens onLoadFailure is triggered on TransofmrImageListener with the following exception message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bitmap could not be decoded from the Uri: [/data/user/0/com.app.test/cachetempImage] .

/data/user/0/com.app.test/cachetempImage is the provided destinationUri to Ucrop

What is the expected behavior?

UCropActivity shouldn't throw an exception

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.

Update library to release 2.2.5, then open Ucrop with a source and cached destination url

 String localString = mActivity.getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath().concat("tempImage");
                UCrop.of(uri, Uri.parse(localString))
                        .withAspectRatio(16, 9)
                        .withMaxResultSize(maxWidth, maxHeight)
                        .start(mActivity);

Please attach any image files, URL and stack trace that can be used to reproduce the bug. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bitmap could not be decoded from the Uri: [/data/user/0/com.app.test/cachetempImage]

Which versions of uCrop, and which Android API versions are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of uCrop? android 7.0+ are affected, it works with previous the version of Ucrop (2.2.4)

Same issue on Android 10

I fixed the issue by adding

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"

to the manifest file Example

 <application
        android:name=".myApp"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        **android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"**
        android:theme="@style/Theme.myApp.myTheme">

android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" is only a temporary measure since as of Android 11, this will be ignored. Any idea how to fix this?

If you want an Image Picker: https://github.com/Drjacky/ImagePicker/ And if you only need the fix for the mentioned issue: https://github.com/Drjacky/ImagePicker/blob/c8477e8ec5f8dc1bc86d0681dd5f58c40f9cff48/imagepicker/src/main/kotlin/com/github/drjacky/imagepicker/provider/CropProvider.kt#L114-L195

My problem is happened on Android 13 (target SDK 33). Whenever I pick image from Gallery, then Ucrop activity will crash and log exception "Bitmap could not be decoded from the Uri" and requestLegacyStorage is deprecated on android 13. So here is the solution I found out: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features#photo-picker
