SecurityException when loading thumbnail on some devices

[dbarwacz]

Glide: 4.8.0
Integration: irrelevant (local image)
Device: some samsungs

We use glide to load preview from image selected using system picker. On some samsungs, it causes SecurityException, as apparently app does not have access to thumbnail of an image.
Actual resource uri is accessible, as we are still able to upload it.

We've migrated from picasso recently. We've had same issues with Picasso. Glide seemed to work ok, but apparently not on all devices.

How can we skip request for thumbnail?
Is it configurable?

Show exception log may help to solve the problem.

Sure, here it is:

I have the same problem

[dbarwacz]

I think (and tests confirm that) everyone without 'storage read' permission is affected on one device or another. I'll look around for a workaround when I have some time in the coming weeks.

You'll need to get the read storage permission for your app to load images from media store. How would you like Glide to help you here?

[dbarwacz]

That's not true @sjudd because I'm granted temporary access by picker activity ('We use glide to load preview from image selected using system picker') which is confirmed as I can access resource directly ('Actual resource uri is accessible, as we are still able to upload it'). Only glide attempts to load thumbnail that apparently has system-specific bugs.

Got it thanks for clarifying.

So you have Uri permissions for content://media/external/images/media/ but accessing the equivalent thumbnail with content://media/external/images/thumbnails/ fails.

Internal issue is b/126712454, but we can work around this in Glide without a framework change.
