NOTE: This module extends the react-native-delete-media module to support deleting videos as well
react-native-mediastore is a react native module used to delete media on android using the new scoped storage. It only supports Android.
It uses the native MediaStore.createDeleteRequest
function to launch the android activity responsible for asking the user permission to delete a media file.
Getting started
Installing
$ npm install @kunalukey/react-native-mediastore
Library configuration
Append the following lines to
android/settings.gradle
:include 'kunalukey_react-native-mediastore' project(':kunalukey_react-native-mediastore').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@kunalukey/react-native-mediastore/android')
Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in
android/app/build.gradle
:implementation project(':kunalukey_react-native-mediastore')
Add the following lines to your imports in
android/app/src/main/java/com/[projectname]/MainActivity.java
:import com.kunalukey.mediastore.DeleteMediaModule; import android.os.Bundle;
Create the
OnCreate
method inMainActivity.java
, if you already have anOnCreate
function just add the init line:@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); DeleteMediaModule.init(this); }
Your
MainActivity.java
file should look like this:import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity; import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate; import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint; import com.facebook.react.defaults.DefaultReactActivityDelegate; import com.rtndeletemedia.DeleteMediaModule; import android.os.Bundle; public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); DeleteMediaModule.init(this); } ... ... }
Make sure to rebuild using
yarn android
.
Linking
This module was created using the new Turbo Native Modules.
It needs to have the New Architecture enabled in the android/gradle.properties
file.
If you're project is not using New Architecture, you'll need to link the library manually.
To do so:
Follow the steps in the
Library configuration
section.In the
android/app/src/main/java/com/[projectname]/MainApplication.java
file, add:import com.kunalukey.mediastore.DeleteMediaPackage;
to the list of imports at the top of the file.packages.add(new DeleteMediaPackage());
to thegetPackages()
method.
Note: If you the this error while trying to use the module [TypeError: Cannot read property 'deletePhotos' / 'deleteVideos' of null]
you probably need to manually link it.
Permissions
You will need to add the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission to your android manifest
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<application
...
</application>
</manifest>
And make sure to request it before calling any functions from this module.
Usage
Here is a simple example of using the library.
import { PermissionsAndroid, Platform } from "react-native";
import { DeleteMedia, ErrorCodes } from "@kunalukey/react-native-mediastore";
async function hasAndroidPermission() {
const permission = PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE;
const hasPermission = await PermissionsAndroid.check(permission);
if (hasPermission) {
return true;
}
const status = await PermissionsAndroid.request(permission);
return status === "granted";
}
async function performDelete() {
if (Platform.OS !== "android") {
return;
}
if (!(await hasAndroidPermission())) {
return;
}
const photoURI = "file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/photo.jpg";
const videoURI = "file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/video.mp4";
// Delete photo
DeleteMedia.deletePhotos([uri])
.then(() => {
console.log("Image deleted");
})
.catch((e) => {
const message = e.message;
const code: ErrorCodes = e.code;
switch (code) {
case "ERROR_USER_REJECTED":
console.log("Image deletion denied by user");
break;
default:
console.log(message);
break;
}
});
// Delete video
DeleteMedia.deleteVideos([uri])
.then(() => {
console.log("Video deleted");
})
.catch((e) => {
const message = e.message;
const code: ErrorCodes = e.code;
switch (code) {
case "ERROR_USER_REJECTED":
console.log("Video deletion denied by user");
break;
default:
console.log(message);
break;
}
});
}
