DestinationType.NATIVE_URI returns content URI on Android.

[sohrabtaee]

DestinationType.NATIVE_URI returns content URI on Android which results in this error:
Not allowed to load local resource: content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A6770

I had to use cordova-plugin-filepath to get the real native URI.

Can you share your code?
Can you test with the dev code? I fixed a similar bug on #382, not sure if I covered your case

[sohrabtaee]

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="^4.0.2" />
<engine name="android" spec="^7.0.0" />

      _chooseFromGallery() {
          navigator.camera.getPicture(
            this. _addPhoto.bind(this),
            this._onError, {
              sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
              destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.NATIVE_URL,
              encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
            });
        }

And this is the console output:
Not allowed to load local resource: content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A6717

I checked latest code in master, and I found that NATIVE_URI option actually returns the right native URI that starts with file:// prefix.

@sohrabtaee another note, try to use Camera.DestinationType.NATIVE_URI instead of Camera.DestinationType.NATIVE_URL.

Destination type constants are defined as follows:

    DestinationType: {
        /** Return base64 encoded string. DATA_URL can be very memory intensive and cause app crashes or out of memory errors. Use FILE_URI or NATIVE_URI if possible */
        DATA_URL: 0,
        /** Return file uri (content://media/external/images/media/2 for Android) */
        FILE_URI: 1,
        /** Return native uri (eg. asset-library://... for iOS) */
        NATIVE_URI: 2
    },

Hi @hazems

Thanks for taking the time to review this bug. Unfortunately, when I changed NATIVE_URL to NATIVE_URI still I get a broken image preview when I choose the photo from the photo library.

Note that it works fine when I take a photo using the camera.

This is weird, what is the device model and Android OS version does it has?

[sohrabtaee]

I have tested on Galaxy S9 with both Android 8 and 9, but our customers have tested it with some other Android devices and the results were the same.

I also experience this issue...

Closing as native_uri return type was removed on 5.0.0
