As you can see, the images are not showing up.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Try running this plugin on Samsung 10 or API level 29

Expected behavior
The application should work as it should by showing the gallery and the camera as well.

@nafre Have you tried to add android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" ?

<application
		android:name="com.tns.NativeScriptApplication"
		android:allowBackup="true"
		android:icon="@drawable/icon"
		android:label="@string/app_name"
		android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
		android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true">

I just tried the method above and it worked. Thanks.

if remove android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true" I can open the video recorder, but the images do not showing

I'm having the same problem as @hugops. Has anyone figured out a workaround?

[hugops]

I fork the android project https://github.com/hugops/MultiType-FilePicker, and fixed the bugs. After i generate the aar lib and replace the file in node-modules path (node_modules/nativescript-mediafilepicker/platforms/android/MultiTypeFilePicker-release.aar) to work in my project
