React-Native-Crop-Image doesn't work on android , How to crop images on android and it should be same for ios also

Question

I have tried this library react-native-image-crop-picker as suggested on this stackoverflow answer

I have followed each and every step mentioned here

1. Run npm i react-native-image-crop-picker@0.4.2
2. import ImagePicker from 'react-native-image-crop-picker'; then

ImagePicker.openPicker({ width: 300, height: 400, cropping: true }).then(image => { console.log(image); });

Also in // file: android/settings.gradle have added the below code

include ':react-native-image-crop-picker' project(':react-native-image-crop-picker').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-image-crop-picker/android')

Also as mentioned in the documentation have added required code in build.gradle & MainActivity.java file

But this is not working for me on Android but working perfectly on iOS . On Android I have given to crop images by scale type only not as flexible crop.

Answer 1

I think you have faced the problem for version issue. You should try react-native-amazing-cropper . It works same for both the Android and iOS .

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I found out that we need the following line in our AndroidManifest.xml file.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" ... >

  ...

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

Enjoy.
