@Padalingam I am not able to reproduce this on my Galaxy S7. How often does this happen? Is this specific to any one device? Do you see this happening on simulator?

Hi, reporting the same issue. One of the guys who uses my mobile app reports the same issue: photos, taken from within my app (via MediaPlugin) are properly processed by the application itself, but incorrectly stored in the device's camera roll (via "new StoreCameraMediaOptions() { SaveToAlbum = true }")- some of them have 0kb size (even though they have proper file names assigned), see the attached screenshot. Tech details: Xamarin Application for Android, MediaPlugin version 3.0.1 Device Android version: 6.0 Trying to collect more information from the guy that can give us some lead.

Trying to collect more information from the guy that can give us some lead.

I have been trying to reproduce this issue, but nothing so far. More information like API version, device details will sure help to debug this

The information I collected so far: Lenovo A7010a48, Android 6.0. I think about changing the application to save the photo myself into the public camera roll (not let the MediaPlugin do it), because that way I'll have more control of it as well as potential exception catching and recording. It could be related to memory issues when working with big files (images with high resolution), I also coped with some and I had to enroll Xamarin.FFImageLoading library to tackle them.

Here's another guy complaining about zero size images being saved into the camera roll using MediaPlugin: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42191654/xamarin-forms-media-plugin-empty-thumbnails-on-phone
