Bug ID: 45439
Summary: [Android] large jpg files cause large problems
Product: Commons App
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General

Mobile Platform: ---
I attempted to upload a jpg file of ~40mb, 16,000 x 10,0000 px. This resulted
in what seemed like a crash to launcher (although the crash report dialog never
popped up, so perhaps not a true crash) each time, usually upon opening
whatever app tried to make a thumbnail of it (Gallery, or other gallery apps,
or file managers with thumbnailing, or back at Commons App itself in cases
where I used a file manager without thumbnailing).
I tried the same thing with the same image in png (~80mb, same dimensions) and
it uploaded without issue. (It also generated a thumbnail in the app during
upload, even though Wikimedia Commons itself was unable to make a thumbnail
from so large a png file!)
I tried with a jpg file of ~25mb, 9,000 × 5,625 px. This resulted in the same
crash-like behavior, but crashes (with no crash report dialog) took a little
longer than with the larger jpg. I was able to enter a file name and start the
upload before it crashed. This resulted in crashes each time I re-opened the
app. When I turned off the screen before it crashed, the upload status remained
in the notification area (unlike when it crashed to launcher, in which case the
notification area also got cleared). The upload status was stalled at
"Starting...". The next time I re-opened the app, it had generated a thumbnail
of the jpg, and it was listed as Failed. I tapped and it queued it then started
uploading it, and completed without issue:
