Edit: I could confirm the Android Version of this EMUI V12 and it is Android 10 in this case.

Same here, problem in compression, when I set it to 0, the problem dissappears. By default compression value is 30.

Maybe i should set the compression to 0. I didn't even notice that there is a default compression. Thank you! But anyway i think this is still a bug and the previous issues should not have been closed.

Same problem with xiaomi mi 8 lite MIUI Global 12.0.3 Android 10 QKQ1.190910.002

I disabled compression and it worked

Anyone facing this issue just set compressionQuality to 0 and it will work fine (its 30 by default), we can close this issue for now ig

[ynnob]

this issue just set compressio

That is just a workaround not a fix. A native default feature of file_picker should not crash any device.

[rohinton-collins]

Also just hit this. Wasted a lot of time on permissions etc. trying to get things working. As above, set compressionQuality to zero:

    FilePickerResult? result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(type: FileType.image, compressionQuality: 0);

This needs to be fixed.

we all know this, getting a workaround and moving on is better than waiting for a fix which who knows when, i think, but your right, lets not close the issue

[GopalAngkas]

I managed to work around with help of permission_hander package

    var compressionQuality = 30;
    var status = await Permission.storage.status;

    if (status.isDenied) {
      status = await Permission.storage.request();
      if (status.isDenied) {
        compressionQuality = 0;
      }
    }

    final result = await FilePicker.platform.pickFiles(
      type: FileType.image,
      compressionQuality: compressionQuality,
    );

This issue was closed because it has been inactive for 14 days since being marked as stale.

[ynnob]

Well this is one way to keep the issue count low

[saif-ellafi]

What happened? I am also facing this issue.

[ynnob]

What happened? I am also facing this issue.

Nothing sadly. Only way is to set compression to zero. By default the picker sets a compression rate and that call fails.

If you need to compress your image you can use a compression lib and compress manually after you picked the files.

[MlecznyU]

Can we reopen this? I have similar issue

[phr4fh]

I want to add my findings here, as I experienced this issue too (on Xiaomi and Huawei):

• the workaround with compressionQuality: 0 works (for now at least)
• the issue happens with type: FileType.image, but does not happen with type: FileType.any

This issue should not be closed in my opinion.
