no Pictures shown in Android App

[Dino0811]

Describe the bug and how to reproduce
I can't see any picture in android app, not for the album, not in an album.

Expected behavior
If i open the android app i can see my albums (text but no galery image),
i can go into the album but won't see an image - just (for example an album with 4 pictures) can see 4 white sqares.

What did you do already

• Problem is on my Samsung Galaxy S10 (Android 10 with latest Piwigo-Android (1.0.2))
• tried on my fathers Android tablet (HUAWEI MEDIAPAD M3 LTE, Android unknown with latest Piwigo-Android (1.0.2))

-> "what did you already"

Additional context
my piwigo-server is set up as docker (linuxserver/piwigo) and i use an letsencrypt/ngix-reverse proxy, so i can access all my dockers by subdomain.domain.de

For me this looks like a duplicate of #184, can you check the details there? - In my eyes the issue is, that the URLs of the pictures are returned with HTTP - without "s" in case you put piwigo behind the revers-proxy. In my eyes this is a security flaw, as it exposes which images are viewed without encryption and should be fixed by patching the REST-return data in the reverse-proxy or in piwigo core.

Next Piwigo-Android version will likely hide the issue by loading the HTTP-URLs. In case the reverse-proxy is setup correctly it should redirect to the https variant which will at least secure the image transfer.

Hi,

thank's for the hint...this seems to be the problem!

this https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo-Android/issues/184#issuecomment-640928300 helped me (quick and dirty) - pictures are shown, but upload doesn't work.

hopefully the fixed android-app will be out soon :) - thanks!

Sorry for the long time till response...

The issue doesn't look like being located in the WebServiceFactory for me. I guess it is in the picasso, which creates it's own okhttp instance when created in ApplicationModule.providePicasso().

I had this same issue when using a reverse proxy : Internet -> HTTPS -> HTTP.
I finally found a fix to this to wait until the next release. Within local/config/config.inc.php :

$_SERVER['HTTPS']='on';
$_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']=443;
$conf['gallery_url'] = "https://myserver.lo";`

Thanks a lot Chuugar !

I don't see any pictures, neither in the the old version, nor in the NG-version. Testing on a Sony Xperia with Android 8.0.0
BTW The IOS-version works like a charm ...

Maybe the issue is related to the way https is implemented on the server?
https://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=29002

Binero has configured their environment in a way that gives PHP the following data:

 $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on'
 $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] = 80

The fix to be able to log in:

I've created two files in:
~/mydomain.com/public_html – first (the hidden) ".user.ini":

; Fix SERVER_PORT making redirects work in Piwigo.
auto_prepend_file =
/storage/content/96/******/mydomain.com/public_html/https_port_fix.php

... and second: "https_port_fix.php":

I upgraded to Piwigo 13.5.0 and the plugin "piwigo_privacy" was disabled, because it was considered incompatible with this version . Now suddenly I could see a few pictures with the Android app Piwigo NG, but the majority of pictures where still invisible. I had some indications that only cached images where visible.

Unfortunately, now Piwigo worked miserably in my browser: only a few cached images where displayed. The same applied to the app for Iphone/iPad, that used to work excellently.

Now I've enabled the plug-in again and Piwigo works as charm in both browser and as iPhone app. But unfortunately, the Android app only works for public albums. Albums protected with any of the schemes to restrict access to some of the users after log-in are still inaccessible.

This is a very old bug. I stopped using the app when the mobile version of the browser worked impeccably.

I am hosting the Piwigo server myself behind a reverse NAT proxy with Apache. It appears that the app is incapable of handling the reverse proxy requests while the browser is.

It would be nice to see this solved and have an app opening your files, but you can set a shortcut with the browser to do the same thing. I won't hold my breath and I have actually given up on this one.
