Kivy Android Save Image

[purushottam yadav]

I have a simple program with the goal of saving an image to the Android Gallery.

Here is my code:

from plyer  import storagepath

from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.button import Button

from kivy.uix.popup import Popup

from kivy.uix.image import Image as KVImage

from kivy.core.image import Image

from os import path

class SITApp(App):

    def build(self):

        return Button(text="save", on_press=self.save)

    def save(self, button):

        try:

            Image('download (1)0.jpg').save(str(storagepath.get_pictures_dir()) + 'download (1)0.jpg' )

        except Exception as e:

            button.text = str(e)

SITApp().run()

 

When I run the  code on  Ubuntu I am getting the error saying "unable to determine the format of the pixels " and Warning 

"

[WARNING] [MTD         ] Unable to open device "/dev/input/event3". Please ensure you have the appropriate permissions.

" .

what are the changes I should make to run this code on ubuntu and Android  ?

If anyone can help me save this picture in the Gallery of an Android device, it would be extremely appreciated !

1) Perhaps I don't understand the question, but wouldn't be simpler to copy the file download(1)0.jpg ?

from shutil import copyfile

2) As to the path, on Android this approach is good on build api=27, and maybe 28; but not 29 or 30.

The approach used by Plyer is depreciated on 29. See these two:

https://github.com/kivy/plyer/blob/master/plyer/platforms/android/storagepath.py

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Environment#getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(java.lang.String)

3) And for Android add WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in the buildozer.spec, and in the app with request_permissions()

I won't be around till next week, maybe somebody else can pick up any follow up?
