App crash on file pick in android

[maxbhoria]

Hi i am not able to pick file app get crashed when i select any file.

I an using android device.

Issue printed in console

E/AndroidRuntime( 1459): java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference E/AndroidRuntime( 1459): at com.mr.flutter.plugin.filepicker.FilePickerDelegate$2.run(FilePickerDelegate.java:92) E/AndroidRuntime( 1459): at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:919)

@miguelpruivo I tried with simulator app still crashing.

[miguelpruivo]

@maxbhoria I don't know what else to tell you, other than completely get rid of pub cache on your machine and rebuild again. As you can see, I can't replicate on my end. Would you mind trying with the plugin's example app on simulator and record it with the logs if possible?

Thanks.

i already tried with your example it was working fine in my device also and also i replace my android folder with you example android folder than it works for me. I am not getting what exactly happening.

[miguelpruivo]

@maxbhoria follow this steps and see if it helps.

[maxbhoria]

ok i will try these

[Iamstanlee]

@maxbhoria found any solution?, I'm facing same issue and i've tested on two different devices

[maxbhoria]

Hello I commented this code in plugin FilePickerDeligate.java, will it create any further issue in my application?

// if (type.equals("dir") && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { // uri = DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(uri, DocumentsContract.getTreeDocumentId(uri)); // }

you can do this if you do not want to pick folder

Thanks

[miguelpruivo]

If this is affecting multiple users I’d be glad to help, just need to figure what’s triggering the issue, this is, being able to replicate it.

So if anyone manage to create a sample app and replicate it with simulator, please share the details.

Thank you!

Thanks, It works! Good workaround. I will try to make an example for reproduce error and more details

[Nikhil27b]

My app also crash String _filePath;

void getFilePath() async { try { String filePath = await FilePicker.getFilePath( type: FileType.any, ); if (filePath == '') { return; } print("File path: " + filePath); setState(() { this._filePath = filePath; }); } on PlatformException catch (e) { print("Error while picking the file: " + e.toString()); } }

this is my code

please share console log.

[praharshbhatt]

Getting the same issue

[miguelpruivo]

I could add a null check for that line of code in Android, but I don't like adding null checks without understanding what may be triggering them because it could hide other potential issues.

Where that issue happens, it shouldn't ever be null. So if anyone manages to replicate this issue with an Android emulator, let me know the details so I can actually debug it and implement a definitive fix and not just a workaround.

So far, only users with some physical devices had this, which doesn't help at all. @praharshbhatt did you get it on emulator?

Thanks!

[praharshbhatt]

Yes, got this in the emulator. Tried on multiple API versions.

[nikitaIndianic]

I am also fashing same issue when i choose photo from recent folder app getting crashed.

[maxbhoria]

@miguelpruivo Please fix this issue many users are reporting it. I already shared you my sample code in which i am getting error. You can try different system. Thanks

[nikitaIndianic]

it's giving error on this line if (type.equals("dir") && Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { uri = DocumentsContract.buildDocumentUriUsingTree(uri, DocumentsContract.getTreeDocumentId(uri)); }

[miguelpruivo]

If you manage to replicate it on the emulator, please, give me the details for it.

• Version of android on Android (in emulator);
• Target SDK and minsdk.

I’ve not yet fixed it because I wasn’t able to reproduce it. 😕

i tried in emulator android version 9 & 10 also tried in real device oneplus 5t android version 10 min sdk version 21 compileSdkVersion 29 targetSdkVersion 29

also tried different filepicker version for now fliepicker version file_picker: ^1.12.0

[nikitaIndianic]

see when i tried to pick image from that particular folder i am getting crash

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic thanks, I'm looking into it. Does that happen only with that folder?

[nikitaIndianic]

i tried with nexus 5x emulator in this device i am getting crash while selection image from download folder too.

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic just tried creating a new 5x emulator with the settings you gave me and it works flawlessly. There must be something else triggering the issue.

If you look into the source code, you see that the type can't be null where it is saying it is, as I have a type null check just a few lines before that. Oddly, in your activity result, the type becomes null magically.

Does that happen in a brand new Flutter project? Would you mind to try please?

[nikitaIndianic]

yes i have tried in new project but getting same issue. yes i am too confused because before that it's working fine.

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic post your flutter doctor -v here please.

@nikitaIndianic hum, you are in an old stable that's more than 6 months old, despite having a few earlier hotfixes (I'm currently on the latest 1.17). Would you mind trying flutter upgrade and try afterwards? Might be related.

[nikitaIndianic]

i used this version bcs in latest stable version giving issue while we long press on edittext it is not giving paste option. still let me try with latest version

[miguelpruivo]

@nikitaIndianic that's weird. Copy/paste is working properly for me. Let me know if it made any difference.

but i am facing issue with copy/paste will you please verify once is it option working on latest stable version

Ok, so basically this is an issue with Flutter on older versions, surprisingly. @maxbhoria would you mind upgrading Flutter to latest stable as well and see if its working for you? Thanks!
