[jira] [Resolved] (CB-8818) Samsung Galaxy S3 - Intents to other
apps
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8818?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Joe Bowser resolved CB-8818.
----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
I don't have these problems when I test the Camera on the S3, only on the Samsung Galaxy Camera where the images uncompressed are huge due to the 16 Megapixel sensor. That said, there's not much we can do since this is how intents work on this version of Android, and this appears to be fixed, or at least is handled better in KitKat and Lollipop.
> Samsung Galaxy S3 - Intents to other apps
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-8818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8818
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Reporter: Matthew Keable
>
> Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
> OS: Android 4.3
> In the Media Capture Plugin, after a successful video recording the user is given the option to play the video back. Doing so opens the video player app. On return to the Cordova app, the webview is restarted losing its state.
> In the Camera plugin, if you allow the user to edit the photo, the editing takes place in a photo app. On return to the Cordova app, the webview is restarted losing its state.
> This seems to be a pattern for the Galaxy S3. I'm currently unable to test on other Samsung devices. They appear to have very aggressive memory management, stopping the Cordova app as soon as the 3rd party app opens.
> While I can maintain state tracking in localStorage and reload the screen that the user was last viewing there is a bigger problem. Because Cordova is rebooting when the intent returns, there is nothing to receive the data and the information is lost.
> I've tried multiple solutions including setting android:alwaysRetainTaskState to true, but I am unable to overcome this.
