meta-data android 26

  AndroidManifest.xml:25:13-35 Error:
       Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(26.0.2) from [com.android.support:exifinterface:26.0.2] Android
  Manifest.xml:25:13-35
    is also present at [com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.1] AndroidManifest.xml:28:13-35 value=(26.0.1).
          Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml:23:9-25:38 to override.

Add this to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  • tools:node="replace"
<application
      android:name=".MainApplication"
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
      tools:node="replace"
    >

When I try to build my project, I get following error:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(26.0.2) from [com.android.support:exifinterface:26.0.2] AndroidManifest.xml:25:13-35
        is also present at [com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.1] AndroidManifest.xml:28:13-35 value=(26.0.1).
        Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml:23:9-25:38 to override.

As the error message hints com.android.support:exifinterface:26.0.2 is already found in com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.1

To fix this issue, modify your project's android/app/build.gradle as follows:

dependencies {
    compile (project(':react-native-camera')) {
        exclude group: "com.android.support"

        // uncomment this if also com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision versions are conflicting
        // this can happen if you use react-native-firebase
        // exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
    }

    compile ('com.android.support:exifinterface:26.0.1') {
        force = true;
    }

    // uncomment this if you uncommented the previous line
    // compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.6.0') {
    //    force = true;
    // }
}

How can I resize captured images?

Currently, RNCamera does not allow for specifying the desired resolution of the captured image, nor does it natively expose any functionality to resize images. One way to achieve this (without any additional dependencies ) is using react-native.ImageEditor.cropImage.

The strategy is:

  1. Capture an image using RNCamera, which uses the device's max resolution.
  2. Use react-native.ImageEditor.cropImage() to crop the image using the image's native size as the crop size (thus maintaining the original image), and the desired new size as the displaySize attribute (thus resizing the image).
import React, { PureComponent } from 'react';
import { Button, ImageEditor } from 'react-native';
import { RNCamera } from 'react-native-camera';

class CameraComponent extends PureComponent {
  // ...

  capturePicture = () => {
    if (this.camera) {
      // 1) Capture the image using RNCamera API
      this.camera.takePictureAsync(options)
        .then((capturedImg) => {
          // 2a) Extract a reference to the captured image,
          //    along with its natural dimensions
          const { uri, width, height } = capturedImg;

          const cropData = {
            // 2b) By cropping from (0, 0) to (imgWidth, imgHeight),
            //    we maintain the original image's dimensions
            offset: { x: 0, y: 0 },
            size: { width, height },

            // 2c) Use the displaySize option to specify the new image size
            displaySize: { width: RESIZED_WIDTH, height: RESIZED_HEIGHT },
          };

          ImageEditor.cropImage(uri, cropData, (resizedImage) => {
              // resizedImage == 'file:///data/.../img.jpg'
            }, (error) => {
              console.error('Error resizing image: ', error.getMessage());
          });
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          console.log('Could not capture image.', error.getMessage());
        });
    }

  render() {
    return (
      <RNCamera
        ref={ref => (this.camera = ref)}
        // ...
      />

      <Button onPress={() => this.capturePicture()}>Capture</Button>
    );
  }
}

How can I get thumbnails for my video

We recommend using the library react-native-thumbnail for generating thumbnails of your video files.

How can I save my video/image to the camera roll?

You can use the CameraRoll Module. You must follow the setup instructions in the react-native documentation, since CameraRoll module needs to be linked first.
