DocumentPicker.show({
filetype: [DocumentPickerUtil.allFiles()],
},(error,res) => {
// Android
console.log(
res.uri,
res.type, // mime type
res.fileName,
res.fileSize

});

I haven't solved/linked it successful yet, but I think it's the same issue like in https://github.com/react-community/react-native-image-picker/issues/269.

i have linked properly but i am using expo and maybe thats why its not working?

[d12544]

I checked by creating a new project without expo and it works fine. so i guess its not working with expo
@boerdjamin

Is there a way to make it work with Expo ?

[d12544]

@animeshjn
You can use expo’s documentpicker

If you are using v3+. You need to update your code from
DocumentPicker.show to DocumentPicker.pick.

import DocumentPicker from 'react-native-document-picker';

// Pick a single file
try {
const res = await DocumentPicker.pick({
type: [DocumentPicker.types.images],
});
console.log(
res.uri,
res.type, // mime type
res.name,
res.size
);
} catch (err) {
if (DocumentPicker.isCancel(err)) {
// User cancelled the picker, exit any dialogs or menus and move on
} else {
throw err;
}
}
