[jira] [Commented] (CB-9649) Camera Plugin crashes the app when restarting MainActivity after shutdown by the Android system

Julian Frumar commented on CB-9649:
-----------------------------------

It looks like this won't work because apparently all the Intent returns is just a low-resolution image: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/MediaStore.html#ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE

I saved the imageUri to a Preferences object (to restore state), but when the Cordova Activity comes back to the foreground, we've also lost the callbackContext. I'm now researching how to save and restore plugin state as part of the Android lifecycle.

> On my Samsung S5 test device, when taking a photo with image stabilization on, it shuts down our app in the background (likely due to memory constraints) and then restarts our app once the image has been captured.
> The Camera plugin assumes that this.imageUri (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/blob/master/src%2Fandroid%2FCameraLauncher.java#L387)  is still available in memory, but  it isn't available if the app was restarted (this.imageUri is not persisted anywhere).
> Because the intent is triggered with intent.putExtra(android.provider.MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT, Uri.fromFile(photo)), when the onActivityResult method is called there is no intent provided (so no way of loading the URI to the saved image).
> Suggestion: By removing the EXTRA_OUTPUT on the launching intent, the camera will return the URI in the returning intent which can then be read.
