[jira] [Commented] (CB-1045) Obtaining image pointer from contact photo URI

["Simon MacDonald (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1045?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13412839#comment-13412839 ] 

Simon MacDonald commented on CB-1045:
-------------------------------------

The URI returned in contact[0].photos[0].value is a content:// URI. It is perfectly okay to set the value of img.src to this URI and Android will display it. If you pass the URI to window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI it will fail as it only queries the media store DB while contact photos are stored elsewhere. 

Even if we query the right DB it may be a problem as the thumbnail is stored as a base64 encoded data and it may or may not have a pointer to the actual 'file' where the image data is stored.

> This issue was discussed with Simon Mac Donald on the Google PhoneGap Groups.  I have been attempting to obtain an image from a contacts URI but I believe this is not currently handled in the PhoneGap Api.
