Hey,

First you need to get permissions for external storage.

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getActivity(), Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(getActivity(), new String[]{Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, PERMISSION_RQ);

Pay attention to the oder - first wait for ffmpeg lib to finish loading - only then start any commands

riddhee · 2019-12-17T08:05:23Z

is this worked for u?

kartik1225 · 2019-12-28T13:17:46Z

Any updates on this?

st235 · 2020-01-01T11:59:15Z

I suppose its the limitation of Android Q and target api 29, as the library executes binary file. Indeed it looks really tricky

rkkalkii · 2020-01-08T04:18:04Z

Hi there, i am facing the same issue with android Q on target api 29. Taking write permission and waiting for library to load is not helping. Do anyone has any solution??
Thanks.

st235 · 2020-01-08T21:55:39Z

@rkkalkii, I would recommend you to try MediaCodec API, it really works as ffmpeg. The only limitation is api 18+.

appteamwebcontentor · 2020-01-22T08:06:55Z

Does anybody got the solution for this ? I am also stuck here

st235 · 2020-01-22T12:53:55Z

Does anybody got the solution for this ? I am also stuck here

Yeah, as I wrote below, this solution will not work anymore until authors will not recompile binary file as a static library and wrap the code with JNI methods.

The optimal solution without using any library is to use MediaCodec API provided by Android since API 18+

pezezzle · 2020-02-10T20:42:30Z

i recommend google/android to remove this scoped storage shit. Same issue...

gowthami77 · 2020-02-24T11:21:33Z

Hi............
Does anybody got the solution for this ? I am also stuck here..
Please send me reply

alexict · 2020-02-25T01:51:47Z

@gowthami77 the temporary solution is set target api < 29 or you can use MediaCodec API.

dmitriy-chernysh · 2020-04-06T14:25:20Z

I have the same issue on Android 10+ with targetsdk 29. I can confirm it works fine with targetSdk 28. But I would like to force it work with the latest sdk. And I cannot use MediaCodec API due to limited functionallity.
Let me know if anybody has solved the issue. Thanks!

aliraza96 · 2020-04-13T11:01:49Z

Also stuck on this issue. If anybody found a solution except for adding targetSdk 28. Please any help will be appreaciated.

st235 · 2020-04-13T11:08:45Z

@aliraza96, if MediaCodec is not applicable for you, its still possible to compile ffmpeg from sources as shared library. Here you may found some related info about compilation for Android. Also this one repo structured very well.

gowthami77 · 2020-04-15T11:29:28Z

I found this library and it worked well on Android 10 https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg

androidvk · 2020-05-03T16:01:52Z

@gowthami77 is it working without any errors?? can you post a sample code over here.

ShankyPatel · 2020-05-22T07:14:30Z

@gowthami77 i tried to use library but it requires minsdk 24 so its useless.

DevMayur · 2020-12-30T18:55:23Z

@gowthami77 i tried to use library but it requires minsdk 24 so its useless.
Its main releases support API 24+ but you can use LTS for minsdk 16+
i.e.
use
implementation 'com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.4.LTS'
instead of
implementation 'com.arthenica:mobile-ffmpeg-full:4.4'

bilal96aslam · 2021-03-19T13:02:50Z

I found this library and it worked well on Android 10 https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg

can you please share how to implement this library because I can't find implementation about this library? Thanks

bilal96aslam · 2021-03-19T13:05:31Z

@gowthami77 i tried to use library but it requires minsdk 24 so its useless.

but in his documentation saying it requires API 16+

yyms3275 · 2021-05-13T04:31:39Z

I solved the same problem as below.
I solved the problem by using a different library.

https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg

dmitriy-chernysh · 2021-05-13T07:04:01Z

I solved the same problem as below.
I solved the problem by using a different library.

https://github.com/tanersener/mobile-ffmpeg

Yeah. I started using this lib too. The problem has gone. Everything works fine on Android 11.

natvar97 · 2021-11-27T20:31:02Z

Use below library,
https://github.com/tanersener/ffmpeg-kit/tree/main/android

and put below packagingOptions in build.gradle:

packagingOptions {
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libswscale.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libavcodec.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libavutil.so'
pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libswscale_neon.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libavcodec.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libswscale.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libavformat.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libavfilter.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libswresample.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libavcodec.so'
pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libavfilter_neon.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libavformat.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libavformat.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libavutil.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libavdevice.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libavfilter.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libswresample.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libswscale.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libavdevice.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86/libavutil.so'
pickFirst 'lib/armeabi-v7a/libavcodec_neon.so'
pickFirst 'lib/x86_64/libavfilter.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libswresample.so'
pickFirst 'lib/arm64-v8a/libavdevice.so'
}

it will solve your problem

FFmpegSession session = FFmpegKit.execute(command); if (ReturnCode.isSuccess(session.getReturnCode())) { progressbar_popup.setVisibility(View.GONE); pop_txt_progress.setVisibility(View.GONE); refreshAndroidGallery(Uri.parse(destPath)); // renameDialog.dismiss(); if (!PreferenceManager.getRemove()) { viewfullpagead(); } else { renameDialog.dismiss(); //card_pre_video.setVisibility(View.GONE); refreshwaiting(); //startActivity(new Intent(Home.this,VideoFolderList.class)); } } if (ReturnCode.isCancel(session.getReturnCode())) { }

this work for android 11 also (tested)
