There have been a number of threads here and on other resources regarding this issue, with no resolution I could see:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/beb2d62035e424d6/7e12c2a7a1605f52?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=droid+++x#7e12c2a7a1605f52 http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/268b49bde9486acf/034b3973e3c1eae8?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=droid+++x#034b3973e3c1eae8 The issue is that on the Droid X when using ACTION_GET_CONTENT with cropping, or the photo app's cropping intent, the requested image does not get returned but instead overwrites the user's Wallpaper! I am in the same situation, I am using a Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT with the crop settings to browse the gallery, and specifying a file URI on the SD card for the returned cropped image data, which I then want to copy to the internal app area. (I am using an intermediate sd card file as returning the data in memory fails for all but very small images). On the Droid X it is not saving the file, and I suspect like these other reports it is instead overwriting the user's wallpaper also, however as my app is a Preference Activity for a Live Wallpaper, such an effect is not visible, as my Live Wallpaper is still in play. The last official word I could find from Motorola was in here, back in January: http://community.developer.motorola.com/t5/Android-App-Development-for/Image-crop-behavior-inconsistent-on-Droid-vs-Droid-X/m-p/8880 "This appears to be bug when its trying to store large sized images using MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT while cropping. Will file the bug and let you know the status if I get any update." But nothing since then. So I guess I am faced with either: 1. Not using cropping at all, which means reduced functionality for every other phone apart from Droid X 2. Adding an extra non-cropped routine just for Droid-X users 3. Writing my own cropping activity The third option seems like overkill, but perhaps is the only way to be sure. Anybody else come across this, or could suggest any other workarounds?
