Open image with uppercase extension JPG, PNG using Display.getInstance().execute(path)

[Ivan]

Hi guys,

on Android: when I try to open image with uppercase extension: JPG, PNG in associated application using Display.getInstance().execute(path) the device allways tries to open it as PDF.
With lowercase extension works everything ok.

Is this CN1 bug or Android problem?

(I'm using workaround renaming the file to lowercase extension currently, but it's not very comfortable)

thanks

Ivan

I don't see anything explicitly setting this in our code.  My guess is that android treats ".PNG" differently than ".png", and you have previously chosen your PDF program to open files with .PNG.  Check out the settings for your PDF application in settings to see if this is the case.  Directions would be similar to this:

Hi Steve,

All my PDF apps have the "Clear defaults" option disabled because no defaults are set.

I don't have associated app neither with JPG nor PNG.
When I click such a file in file manager (or gallery, or any other app) I'm getting application selection to select in which application it should open (PDF app is not present in the selection).

The same I have in CN1 application with lowercase extensions.

But uppercase JPG or PNG are always handled like PDF, I tested both extensions on more devices and the behavior is the same.

Best regards

Hi,
Is the image under the app home path?
How does the full URL to the file look?
I think it might reach an edge case in getMimeType(String) and Android might not recognize some types correctly

[Ivan Ilavsky]

Hi Shai,

the image is in Android/data/<packageName> directory.

The full URL is: file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/sk.easysoft.maintplan/IMG_20170417_09254.JPG

Hi,
if you copy it over to the app home directory is the behavior different?
