thumbnailPath on android is not accessible - content://com.android.contacts/contacts/4/photo

[EyalSi]

I'm trying to copy the thumbnail received on Android, using RNFS (react-native-fs)
copyFile(src, dst) or RNFetchBlob (react-native-fetch-blob) fs.cp(src, dst), doesn't succeed - "no such file or directory".
Anyone had a success in copying such content:// files?
Thanks,

Is nobody using the thumbnails on android?

do you know if where you're using the uri has the same contentresolver authority? https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentUris.html Maybe the authority is com.android.contacts and then your module is using a different authority?

@morenoh149 how do I set the authority? I'm using react-native-contacts and than trying to read the image using RNFS. I'm not setting the authority in either...

[morenoh149]

Right those may be two different authorities. Basically the uri 's generated by different authorities are not compatible. Don't think you can achieve your goal with that approach.

There is now a solution for this problem in react-native-fs. Enabling access and copy content:// files -itinance/react-native-fs#395

Updates? I am with the same problem.

No updates. Did you try passing the authority between the libraries? For better help open a fresh issue referencing this and any other resources. Also include a minimal reproduction and what you tried.
