ownCloud client does not upload photos from Open Camera

[Anonymous]

Hi

I use ownCloud Android client which allows auto uploading of wifi pictures taken with the stock app and several others but not Open Camera. They all sit in the same folder but it may be that Open Camera does not produce a trigger on:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/Camera.html#ACTION_NEW_PICTURE

Which I believe ownCloud depends on.

Does anyone else know if this is the issue and if so is this a quick fix?

Not a hardcore coder so I admit I havent dug too deep but would like to help so will donate some coffee money ;-)

Love the app generally, sometime a litle slow whilst taking the photo but otherwise I enjoy the features.

Thanks all

Since v1.14, Open Camera broadcasts Camera.ACTION_NEW_PICTURE (see broadcastFile() in MainActivity.java). So if it isn't working in v1.14 or later, I'm not sure why it isn't working with Owncloud.

On speed of taking photos, note that if Auto Stabilise is enabled, this will be a cause of being slow.

Try re-naming the folder that the images are saved to what the Cloud client automatically uploads. Go into the apps settings, more camera controls and save location. Name it to something basic like 'Camera' or 'Photos'

No it doesn't. I have Open Camera 1.16 and Own Cloud Client 1.5.8. I set the path for the pictures to /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera (which refers to the internal memory - and where the incumbent app saves its photos to)

No avail. It saves the picture but doesn't upload it.

Thanks Conrad

I've fixed a problem which now makes auto-uploading work for me. This fix is in v1.21. So hopefully it's properly fixed this time :)

Hello, I'm currently using Open Camera 1.35 (from F-Droid) and CyanogenMod 14.1 (OnePlus 2). The default storing location of Open Camera wasn't DCIM/Camera and the pictures were not uploaded into my Nextcloud via the app. I changed the directory to point where the stock camera points and still the same problem. Any chance this can be set to work?

Thank you!

I think that's based on Android 7.1? If so, it's because Google made a change in Android 7 that breaks how auto-upload works, this now needs Owncloud to change how this is done. They're aware of the issue, see https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues/1675 .
