[nafre]

Describe the bug On Android 10 (API 29), I ran the demo from this repo and the results for the ImagePicker is as shown in the picture below. I have provided the app with all the permissions needed. As you can see, the images are not showing up.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Try running this plugin on Samsung 10 or API level 29

Expected behavior The application should work as it should by showing the gallery and the camera as well.

NativeScript Info(please run tns info):

@nafre Have you tried to add android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ?

<application
        android:name="com.tns.NativeScriptApplication"
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">

I just tried the method above and it worked. Thanks.

if remove android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" I can open the video recorder, but the images do not showing

I'm having the same problem as @hugops. Has anyone figured out a workaround?

[hugops]

I fork the android project https://github.com/hugops/MultiType-FilePicker, and fixed the bugs. After i generate the aar lib and replace the file in node-modules path (node_modules/nativescript-mediafilepicker/platforms/android/MultiTypeFilePicker-release.aar) to work in my project
