React-native-image-crop-picker: App reload when take photo from camera

[vinpro24]

I have a problem with take photo from camera. App will reload then click tick button

• react-native-image-crop-picker v0.21.2
• react-native v0.57.0

My code:
ImagePicker.openCamera({ width: 640, height: 640, compressImageMaxWidth: 640, compressImageMaxHeight: 640, compressImageQuality: 0.75, cropping: true })

Added to AndroidManifest.xml:
android:largeHeap="true"

Android default config:
multiDexEnabled true
vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

Any idea?

I think this happens when mainActivity becomes closed (by system) while camera (or gallery) activity is opened.
As mentioned here #505 you can debug this with the option: Settings->Developer options->Apps->Don't keep activities

For me:

• this happens 1% cases (option off) when I have lack of RAM
• this happens 100% cases (option on)

I'm not sure that it is possible to completely fix this issue at react-native app.
This need to be investigated by someone with good understanding of android app lifecycle methods and react-native internals.

Keywords for further investigation: onActivityResult, Don't keep activities

If someone will have a solution, please right back a comment.

This is not working on devices that have 1gb of RAM. I tested in my phone S7, it's working perfectly but in my old tablet (Samsung Tab E) sometimes works sometimes not.

Any solution?

the company suggests that you need to save the state at the time of onStop, and restore it on onCreate. in MainActivity, but I don't have the code. for those who do not know what to do, there is a solution without using this library. You can output a stream from the camera directly to the react-native app using react-native-camera. And to get photos from the library and crop them, use this library.
