On my Android (Galaxy S10) not opening the camera or gallery

[jopmiddelkamp]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues
• I have read the guide to filing a bug

Steps to reproduce

If I follow the steps below on my Android device nothing happens while on my iOS device everything works fine. This is exactly the same behaviour as when we load one of or partner their web views into our app.

1. Clone the flutter_webview_issue repo
2. Run the app on your device
3. Tap on either the gallery or camera button

Expected results

For the web view to open either the gallery or the camera based on the button you've pressed.

Actual results

Nothing happens.

Code sample

Source from our flutter_webview_issue repo.

Code sample

void main() => runApp(const MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      home: WebViewContainer(),
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
    );
  }
}

class WebViewContainer extends StatefulWidget {
  const WebViewContainer({super.key});

  @override
  State<WebViewContainer> createState() => _WebViewContainerState();
}

class _WebViewContainerState extends State<WebViewContainer> {
  final _url =
      'https://6495ac7394575140f22df7b5--react-native-photo-gallery-apis.netlify.app/';
  WebViewController? webViewController;

  @override
  void initState() {
    [
      Permission.photos,
      Permission.camera,
      Permission.mediaLibrary,
      Permission.videos,
    ].request().then((value) {
      webViewController = WebViewController()
        ..setJavaScriptMode(JavaScriptMode.unrestricted)
        ..loadRequest(Uri.parse(_url));
      setState(() {});
    });
    super.initState();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('WebView')),
      body: webViewController != null
          ? WebViewWidget(
              controller: webViewController!,
            )
          : const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator()),
    );
  }
}

Thanks for the report @jopmiddelkamp
Although I don't have the specific device to verify, but I tried on Samsung A2Core device on which the camera and gallery opens properly.
Can you provide a short video of the behavior ?
Is there any permission or setting on the phone that might be preventing it to open ?

Thanks for the update. I am getting same behavior upon running the code sample on Pixel emulator and tapping on buttons shows me below in console:

E/FrameEvents( 4347): updateAcquireFence: Did not find frame.
E/FrameEvents( 4347): updateAcquireFence: Did not find frame.
E/FrameEvents( 4347): updateAcquireFence: Did not find frame.

Does it work on any other Android device apart from S10 ?

[jopmiddelkamp]

Not not yet. I normally test the app on physical devices. I do also have a Galaxy S6 and Xiaomi Redmi device which I havent tried yet. Would you like me to test it on these devices as well?

[darshankawar]

Would you like me to test it on these devices as well?

Yes please. Also, looking at the code sample provided, you seem to be trying to open the device's camera or gallery that is wrapped in a webview. So in this case, maybe you can also try to run the image_picker package example clubbing it with webview code implementation and see if using it, you still get same behavior or not on S10.

[jopmiddelkamp]

Tried it on all these devices and non of them are working for me it all gives the same result. I tap one of the buttons but nothing happens.

Galaxy S6
