- I could not read 301.jpg from the SD card using "file:///mnt/sdcard/Eric/PicDVDlist/301.jpg".
- I could not read it from the sd card using my phone's folder path "file:///mnt/external_sd/Eric/PicDVDlist/301.jpg".
- I could not read it from the sd card using directly "/external_sd/Eric/PicDVDlist/301.jpg" (the "File" component can do it!).
- I could not read it directly from the "/" root folder of the phone's memory using "/301.jpg" (the "File" component can do it!).
- Of course, no issue reading it from AI's "Asset" folder using "//301.jpg".
In short, no mean to retrieve an image from elsewhere than the "Asset" folder when using the "Image" component :(
To answer Steve's question about if I can read an image from my external SD card:
- Yes, I can using the "File" component.
- No, I cannot using the "Image" component.
Quick questions to Steve:
- In your two examples "file:///storage/extSdCard/" and "file:///mnt/extSdCard/, are the "storage", "extSdCard" and "mnt" folders visible in your phone using the Android standard "Files" app?
- What is an "emulated" SD card?
- Is an "emulated" SD card visible in the Android standard "Files" the same way the actual SD card is?
- BTW, Is the "File" component what you refer to as "File control"?
