Hey all: I'm allowing a user to take a profile selfie or import a file from their camera roll, and on Android, the images are rotated inconsistently between front and rear cameras, as well as when importing from camera roll depending on how the user held the camera.
The MediaEvent (upon selecting an image) and MediaPromise object (data) does not provide any orientation information and the image's sourceWidth is ALWAYS larger than sourceHeight no matter which camera or mode (portrait/landscape) was used to take the picture. So there is no way to know how much to rotate the image. My problem is: I need to know if a photo taken with CameraUI was front or back camera. I need to know if a photo imported using CameraRoll was originally taken with front or back camera, and whether the user held the camera in portrait or landscape mode. Each of these variables result in different rotations of the image and I need to correct the rotation (that's easy) once I know by how much it's off. I don't have any problem on iOS at all. Apple is consistent. I'm figuring I'll have to give my users the ability to manually rotate their pics, or write an ANE or something else hard to do just to get more information about the images on Android. Any ideas? Thanks. Erik
