Picasso not loading image from Samsung galaxy devices

Question

On Nexus and LG G3 devices (which I have tried so far) I am successfully loading an image from the device memory into an ImageView (using Picasso) like this:

mProfileImageView.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() 
{
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        Intent intent = new Intent();
        intent.setType("image/*");
        intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
        startActivityForResult(Intent.createChooser(intent, "Select Picture"), 2);
    }
});


@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == getActivity().RESULT_OK) {
        Picasso.with(getContext()).setLoggingEnabled(true);
        if (requestCode == 2) {
            Picasso.with(getContext())
                    .load(data.getData())
                    .noPlaceholder()
                    .centerCrop()
                    .fit()
                    .into(mProfileImageView);
        }
    }
}

However, from some strange reason, this does not work on Galaxy S4 and S5.

I am using Picasso 2.5.2

Can any kind soul help me?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I *finally* figured it out!

It was a permission problem as the Samsung devices used external memory. After adding the following line to the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

It worked!
