             Summary: Inconsistent URI encoding causing permission errors on android
                 Key: CB-9891
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9891
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin Camera, Plugin File
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.1.0
         Environment: Android 5+
            Reporter: Connor Pearson


Using the camera plugin to get a picture from the photo library returns an encoded URI. If you then call resolveLocalFileSystemURI the fileEntry object returned contains the decoded path component of the URI. This path property is used in the toInternalURL function which means it's also decoded. Because Android gave us permission to the encoded URI, but not the decoded URI, attempting to access the decoded URI results in a permission error. 

{code:javascript}
document.getElementById("myButton").addEventListener("click", function(){
            navigator.camera.getPicture(function(uri){
                console.log(uri); //content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A27         
		window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(uri, function(fileEntry){
                    console.log(fileEntry.toInternalURL()); //cdvfile://localhost/content/com.android.providers\
.media.documents/document/image:27                                                                              
                    fileEntry.file(function(){alert("success");}, function(){alert("fail");});
                },function(error){
                    // resolved by pulling in PR 119
                    alert("Fail resolveFileSystemURI code: " + error.code);
                });
            }, null, {sourceType: 0, allowEdit: false});
        });
{code}

I feel like something must be wrong in one of the plugins, but I'm not sure where. In the android FileSystem.js, replacing the second line of the function with
{code:javascript}
path = path.replace('//', '/').replace(':', '%3A');
{code}
solves this specific issue, but it may cause other problems. What is the correct way of handing URIs throughout the file plugin?
