What library is needed for Photo Picker of Android 13?

As provided by https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/features/photopicker, in Android 13, we have a new Photo Picker.

I try the code

val intent = Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_PICK_IMAGES)

The ACTION_PICK_IMAGES can't be recognized. What library should I import to have that recognized?

Note I have already set my compileSdk and targetSdk to 32, i.e. Android 13.

android {
    compileSdk 32

    defaultConfig {
        targetSdk 32
    }
}
Solution

  • API 32 is Android 12L, not Android 13.

    You need to follow the Set up the Android 13 SDK instructions to use Android 13 APIs like the Photo Picker:

    // Assuming you are using Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 7.0.0 or higher
android {
    compileSdkPreview "Tiramisu"

    defaultConfig {
        targetSdkPreview "Tiramisu"
    }
}
