No longer able to take screenshots, despite permissions
I have a domotics related app that is able to take still images from a video-stream (surveillance) and store them on your phone.
This used to work.
Testers and early adopters have informed me that the new release just throws an error that the app is unable to store the picture.
I looked into it and came across this similar question: AIR 24 beta "Error #3800: This call requires CameraRoll permission."
The accepted answer seems to be to include WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission in the manifest.
This is my current manifest:
<android>
<colorDepth>16bit</colorDepth>
<manifestAdditions><![CDATA[
<manifest android:installLocation="auto" >
<!--See the Adobe AIR documentation for more information about setting Google Android permissions-->
<!--Removing the permission android.permission.INTERNET will have the side effect of preventing you from debugging your application on your device-->
<!--<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>-->
<!--<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>-->
<!--The DISABLE_KEYGUARD and WAKE_LOCK permissions should be toggled together in order to access AIR's SystemIdleMode APIs-->
<!--<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DISABLE_KEYGUARD"/>-->
<!--<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>-->
<!--<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>-->
<!--<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>-->
<!--The ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permissions should be toggled together in order to use AIR's NetworkInfo APIs-->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-feature android:name="android.software.leanback" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="false" />
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="26" />
<application>
<activity>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<!--<category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER" />-->
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
]]></manifestAdditions>
</android>
Yet it does not work.
When I check on my (android) phone (App permissions > App permissions > Storage > {NAME OF APP}) I see that the slider is in the 'off' position.
Turning the Storage permissions on makes this problem go away.
What am I missing?
