---------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for figuring out why I wasn't able to reproduce this bug without doing some intense screwing around with my phone! This is greatly appreciated!  Also, I totally zoned out on getPluginByClassName (My version sucked and never made it in the repo.) Do you want to take credit by submitting a patch?

Also, send me an e-mail about this bug! You have no idea how long we've been working on this issue!

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
>         Environment: Samsung Galaxy S3, Android 4.1.1

> Hi,
> I found a bug in cordova during tests on my Samsung Galaxy S3 with android 4.1.1 
> I have tried using both camera.getPicture as well as capture.captureImage
> In both cases the CameraLauncher successfully starts.  
> Both functions only succeed when the user takes a picture in landscape mode (phone is horizontal). When the picture is taken in portrait mode (phone vertical) the application will fail with a NPE in DroidGap, this is due to DroidGap loosing its reference to the activityResultCallback when its orientation changes.
> I am able to reproduce this using the default creation and camera examples:
> 1. Create the project: C:\Programming\cordova\cordova-android\framework>bin\create C:\Users\dean\workspace-android\DeanTest2 com.kooiman DeanTest2
> 2. Overwrite assets/www/index.html with the complete example from: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.4.0/cordova_camera_camera.md.html#Camera
> 3. Deploy the application to a Samsung Galaxy S3
> 4. Take a picture in portrait mode and see the failure.
> I can successfully get the callback by caching the reference when the Activity is destroyed, however the page is reloaded on orientation changes as well (so my image is rendered and immediately cleared).  In-fact if you were to take a picture in Landscape or show an image from the library and then changed the orientation the images are removed, due to page reload.
> Here is my code to at least get past the NPE: (Still would like a fix for the page reload on orientation changes)
> public class DeanTest2 extends DroidGap
> {
>   private static final Object CALLBACK_LOCK = new Object();
>   private static CordovaPlugin destroySafeActivityCallback = null;
> 	
>   @Override
>   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
>   {
>     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
>     synchronized(CALLBACK_LOCK) {
>       if (destroySafeActivityCallback != null) {
>         activityResultCallback = destroySafeActivityCallback;
>         destroySafeActivityCallback = null;
>       }
>     }
>         
>     super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
>   }
>     
>   @Override
>   public void onDestroy() {
>     if (activityResultCallback != null) {
>       synchronized(CALLBACK_LOCK) {
>         destroySafeActivityCallback = activityResultCallback;
>       }
>     }
>     	
>     super.onDestroy();
>   }
> }
