-                                       if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
+                                       try {
                                                startActivity(intent);
+                                       } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                                        }
                                }
                                alert.dismiss();

Hi, @ast261 !😄
Thank you for your report; it is very valuable!
Could you confirm whether this issue occurs when trying to open a photo, an audio file, or both?

Note: If your device doesn’t have an audio player installed, it might not be able to play audio files. The same applies to photos, although most Android devices typically have a default gallery app.

We should consider adding a message to inform users about this.

"Could you confirm whether this issue occurs when trying to open a photo, an audio file, or both?"

Only when opening a photo.

[Andyporras]

hello @ast261 , what photo application do you have on your cell phone?

[ast261]

Android 13 (AICP): org.lineageos.aperture
Android 14 (stock ROM): com.motorola.camera3

[Andyporras]

could you download the Google photo application? because it works with that application, at least in the tests we did, it worked with that application.

I think you misunderstood me, I mean photo gallery application.

[Andyporras]

the aperture app does not work to view photos, I think that is the problem with it, because on Android 15 it does not work with that app either, try to try with Google photos or gallery - photo gallery, album or the native gallery app of the device. I tried it with those and it worked for me or any of the apps that comes out in this picture.

Ah, ok.
It's not working with Google Photo gallery app.

Nevertheless, every combination of camera- and gallery-apps work fine with my fix above.

[ast261]

Correct. I referenced camera apps above. Sorry.

if you can do the pr, I would appreciate it and I would approve it and if you can't I can do the pr with what you mention.

[ast261]

I have not done a PR, because my catch clause above is empty (I have restricted Android knowledge).
You know better how and what message to display in this case.

I tested both the current code and the suggested change on Android 7.1.1, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Current code	Suggested change

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue—it worked fine for me in both cases. However, I still think it’s a good idea to apply the change. Since Android 11, resolveActivity is likely to return null because it may not find all applications capable of handling the intent (see package visibility).

Additionally, the current code asks for an application to handle the intent twice. First with resolveActivity, then with startActivity.

@ast261 mentioned that "..., every combination of camera- and gallery-apps work fine with my fix above". This change should resolve the issue, avoiding redundant intent handling steps in the functionality. @Andyporras, can you take care of it?

[Andyporras]

ready, I already made the pr with the change, I would appreciate if you could check the pr and corroborate that the change works. The pr is #556

@ast261, this zip file contains an APK with changes. You can use it while waiting for the new update to be released.
