   > You could use `cordova-plugin-camera`'s `window.navigator.camera.getPicture` to trigger the right options on android. This method will let you choose your destination using https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera#cameradestinationtype--enum.
   > 
   > Technically add an onClick listener to your tag and handle it yourself by using the above API method, that should resolve your issue.
   
   This approach works but has limitations. For example, `<input type="file">.files` is a `FileList` instance, which does not offer a `push` method (like regular Arrays) for good reasons. So, you cannot retrieve a File using the camera plugin and simply append it to `<input type="file">.files` using javascript. You have to implement your own form/file handling if you use the camera plugin.
