(#) Behavior change when requesting photo library access !!! WARNING: Behavior change when requesting photo library access This is a warning. Id : `SelectedPhotoAccess` Summary : Behavior change when requesting photo library access Severity : Warning Category : Correctness Platform : Android Vendor : Android Open Source Project Feedback : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/new?component=192708 Since : 8.3.0 (February 2024) Affects : Manifest files Editing : This check runs on the fly in the IDE editor See : https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/changes/partial-photo-video-access Implementation : [Source Code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-checks/src/main/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/SelectedPhotoAccessDetector.kt) Tests : [Source Code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/SelectedPhotoAccessDetectorTest.kt) Selected Photo Access is a new ability for users to share partial access to their photo library when apps request access to their device storage on Android 14+. Instead of letting the system manage the selection lifecycle, we recommend you adapt your app to handle partial access to the photo library. (##) Example Here is an example of lint warnings produced by this check: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~text AndroidManifest.xml:11:Warning: Your app is currently not handling Selected Photos Access introduced in Android 14+ [SelectedPhotoAccess] <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" android:minSdkVersion="33" /> ------------------------------------ AndroidManifest.xml:13:Warning: Your app is currently not handling Selected Photos Access introduced in Android 14+ [SelectedPhotoAccess] <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" android:minSdkVersion="33"/> ----------------------------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the source file referenced above: `AndroidManifest.xml`: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xml linenumbers <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" package="foo.bar" android:versionCode="990000000" android:versionName="9.1.0.0.0x"> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="34" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="32"/> <!-- Media permissions introduced in Android 13 (T) --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES" android:minSdkVersion="33" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_AUDIO" android:minSdkVersion="33" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO" android:minSdkVersion="33"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /> <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:permission="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"> </application> </manifest> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can also visit the [source code](https://cs.android.com/android-studio/platform/tools/base/+/mirror-goog-studio-main:lint/libs/lint-tests/src/test/java/com/android/tools/lint/checks/SelectedPhotoAccessDetectorTest.kt) for the unit tests for this check to see additional scenarios. (##) Suppressing You can suppress false positives using one of the following mechanisms: * Adding the suppression attribute `tools:ignore="SelectedPhotoAccess"` on the problematic XML element (or one of its enclosing elements). You may also need to add the following namespace declaration on the root element in the XML file if it's not already there: `xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"`. * Using a special `lint.xml` file in the source tree which turns off the check in that folder and any sub folder. A simple file might look like this: ```xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <lint> <issue id="SelectedPhotoAccess" severity="ignore" /> </lint> ``` Instead of `ignore` you can also change the severity here, for example from `error` to `warning`. You can find additional documentation on how to filter issues by path, regular expression and so on [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/lintxml.md.html). * In Gradle projects, using the DSL syntax to configure lint. For example, you can use something like ```gradle lintOptions { disable 'SelectedPhotoAccess' } ``` In Android projects this should be nested inside an `android { }` block. * For manual invocations of `lint`, using the `--ignore` flag: ``` $ lint --ignore SelectedPhotoAccess ...` ``` * Last, but not least, using baselines, as discussed [here](https://googlesamples.github.io/android-custom-lint-rules/usage/baselines.md.html).
