ICS upgrade bug?

[mandrachek]

I've stumbled upon an issue that I think might be related to the stock ICS upgrade on the wifi xoom's gallery app (might apply to other models as well).

I'm working on an app that requires selecting an image from the gallery. Local images work fine, but images from picasa are coming back with a uri that has an authority of "com.android.gallery3d.provider", which is not a valid provider -- it should be "com.google.android.gallery3d.provider". If I change the authority in the uri it works.

This can be demonstrated with the facebook app. Go to post a new status, add a picture, and choose a picasa image. No image shows up. If that happens, you're probably being bitten by this bug.

What I'm thinking is that maybe the authority is coming from a database somewhere that didn't get upgraded - assuming that Honeycomb actually has a "com.android.gallery3d.provider".

If anyone else cares to delve into this, I can send an apk (and code if you like) that will log the providers on the device, perform the ACTION_PICK, and report back the uri used.

Please do. I think it would be of use.

I've uploaded the source for the demo app, as well as the apk on github under mandrachek/GetPicture - I've also attached them here for your convenience.

Here's a screenshot of what I get on my xoom when I select a picasa image from gallery (not the difference in the the uri that comes in (actual), and the one that's used to pull the image into the view (effective).

Idea consider this a Picasa issue. Lots of apps don't work perfect with ICS. The developers need to update their code to work with it.

How can this be a Picasa issue? This isn't some picasa apk. This is the google gallery application that ships on the device (com.google.android.gallery3d). The sample application I posted works just fine wtih ICS 4.0.3 on my nexus s (i.e., the uri's are the same). But I did a factory reset on that after I upgraded. My xoom on the other hand, is a stock upgrade from honeycomb, without a factory reset.

What I need to be able to determine where the issue lies is:
a) what uri's are used on a honeycomb xoom
b) what uri's are used on a factory reset, stock, ics xoom
c) what uri's are used on an upgraded, non-reset, stock ics xoom

I have the answer to c, at least in my case, and if nobody volunteers, I'll do a factory reset on my xoom, and see if it fixes the problem. Without a, I can't really determine if it's a bug in the upgrade process, or just a bug that's been around for awhile and nobody's noticed.

did the factory reset fix the problem? Would like to get this little bug squashed.

I have this little bug on a current configuration (mako with CM nightly 2012-12-18). Everytime I try to edit a photo which is in a Picasa-synced album, I get a crash from gallery3d.

I think the interesting line is

What do you guys think?
