Glide HEIC/HEIF photos orientation issue

[xjfang]

Glide Version: 4.11

Integration libraries: OkHttp3-3.14.4

Device/Android Version: 10

Issue details / Repro steps / Use case background: I have some orientation issues when loading HEIC/HEIF format photos from local content uri (i.g. content://media/external/images/media/183) while Glide could handle loading same format of photos from remote uri without problem. Does anyone here know if this is a known issue? If so, does Glide have a plan to fix that? And is there anyone else facing the same issue?

Glide load line / GlideModule (if any) / list Adapter code (if any):

GlideApp.with(getActivity()).load(localUri).transition(withCrossFade()).diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE);

Layout XML:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <include
        layout="@layout/status_view"
        android:id="@+id/image_status_view" />

    <com.alexvasilkov.gestures.views.GestureImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_view"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

@xxzxxz513 try downgrading to version 4.10 as a workaround

[sjudd]

Is anyone able to attach an example file where that reproduces this issue?

[hanselip]

@sjudd Certainly - see attached ZIP containing an example HEIC file

Looks like there is a commit between v4.10 and v4.11 that break the EXIF parser, and it is fixed by a recent commit. @xxzxxz513 So to solve the issue, you can either downgrade to v4.10 or wait for the v4.12 release (I assume you are on v4.11). @sjudd Ideally if we could get v4.12 soon :)

There is another way to fix it . see https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/exifinterface

import androidx.exifinterface:exifinterface:1.3.2.

This will also fix glide, it works for me.

I have done this import in my app, Glide 4.11 is still is not able to process EXIF images properly. Can we get 4.12 released soon?
