Impossible to import image using browseForImage on Android

[marcanw]

Lately I had several users on android that wasn't able to import image from their gallery where I'm using browseForImage and MediaPromise. I checked and saw that browseForImage didn't send a valid image, just a stream with a text saying "exception thown by getter"

I filled a bug Tracker

I can't say when the problem came up, but I'm sure it was working before.

Does anyone face the same problem?

Any idea or suggestion?

here is my test code:

import flash.media.MediaPromise;

import flash.media.CameraRoll;

import flash.media.MediaType;

import flash.events.*;

var cameraRoll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll();

cameraRoll.addEventListener( MediaEvent.SELECT, imageSelected );

cameraRoll.addEventListener( Event.CANCEL, removeListeners );

cameraRoll.addEventListener( ErrorEvent.ERROR, removeListeners );

cameraRoll.addEventListener(PermissionEvent.PERMISSION_STATUS, permissionListener);

cameraRoll.requestPermission();

var dataSource:IDataInput;

//var extension:String = "";

function permissionListener(e:PermissionEvent):void

{

trace("permissionListener", e.status);

cameraRoll.browseForImage();

}

function imageSelected( event:MediaEvent ):void

{

trace( "Media selected..." );

var imagePromise:MediaPromise = event.data;

dataSource = imagePromise.open();

if( imagePromise.isAsync )

{

trace( "Asynchronous media promise." );

var eventSource:IEventDispatcher = dataSource as IEventDispatcher;          

eventSource.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onMediaLoaded );       

function onMediaLoaded( event:Event ):void

{

trace("Media load complete");

eventSource.removeEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onMediaLoaded );

readMediaData();

}

}

else

{

trace( "Synchronous media promise." );

readMediaData();

}

}

function removeListeners( e:* = null):void

{

trace("removeListeners");

cameraRoll.removeEventListener( MediaEvent.SELECT, imageSelected );

cameraRoll.removeEventListener( Event.CANCEL, removeListeners );

cameraRoll.removeEventListener( ErrorEvent.ERROR, removeListeners );

cameraRoll = null;

}

function readMediaData():void

{

trace("done");

}

I retried and the problem is gone. I don't know why...
