Android PhotoPicker returns NULL URI

ActivityResultLauncher<PickVisualMediaRequest> pickImage = registerForActivityResult(new ActivityResultContracts.PickVisualMedia(), uri -> {

        if(uri==null) {
            //URI always NULL here
        } else {
            //Never reached
        }


    });

pickImage.launch(new PickVisualMediaRequest.Builder()
                        .setMediaType(ActivityResultContracts.PickVisualMedia.ImageOnly.INSTANCE)
                        .build());

I have tried the same code in a new project and it is returning a valid URI. But PhotoPicker returns a NULL URI in my project. Any idea what could be the issue here?

Solution

  • Apparently, PhotoPicker (or ActivityResultLauncher in general) fails if onActivityResult() is also Overridden in the Activity. I removed that and now PhotoPicker is returning a valid URI.
