When loading thumbnails in Android 10 they are now pre-rotated.

The behavior before Android 10 was that they were not rotated and that the application had to apply rotation manually. Because of this issue all thumbnails are appearing sideways in our app since they have rotation applied twice. This is currently causing customer impact for eBay.

I noticed the same behavior when importing a photo into Instagram with Android 10.

The SDK the ebay app is targeting is 28.

If there is an issue with CameraX, it would be separate from this. This is purely from importing images from the MediaStore, no matter how they were taken.

At this point the issue I reported has been going on for so long that it probably should not be fixed, we will just have this work around in place until we only support only Android 10 and up and then we will assume all photos are pre-rotated.

Hi Darren,

Sorry for the delay on this one - we contacted the mediastore team and i'll copy over their comment.

We updated the java doc. It is working as expected from Q.

As of Build.VERSION_CODES.Q, this output of the thumbnail has correct rotation, don't need to rotate it again.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails#getThumbnail(android.content.ContentResolver,%20long,%20long,%20int,%20android.graphics.BitmapFactory.Options)

Could the app user check the OS version to avoid rotating it again?

Thanks for updating the documentation.

>> Could the app user check the OS version to avoid rotating it again?

Yes, we will continue to rotate thumbnails for OS versions before Q and load them directly otherwise.

Thanks Darren. I'll go ahead and close this ticket
