where is the image capture by RNCamera saved?

Question

I have used RNCamera in my project but I don't know where is it saved in the cache. How can I preview the image and delete the image. The app is taking a lot of cache memory in my android phone.

did you check images in the gallery? – Abu Sufian Jan 02 '20 at 17:20 — Abu Sufian, Jan 02 '20 at 17:20

From the documentation

uri: (string) the path to the image saved on your app's cache directory.

 takePicture = async() => {
    if (this.camera) {
      const options = { quality: 0.5, base64: true };
      const data = await this.camera.takePictureAsync(options);
      console.log(data.uri);//print uri for image saved
    }
  };

You can check images in the gallery if not you predefined file location.

Please check takePicture = async function() from following source which returns data.uri and you have full control to move your file and the display images as well as you can delete.
