Subject: [jira] [Updated] (CB-6692) Launching the camera on Android fails
 with the Play Store version of (Google) Camera.

ira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Bj=C3=B6rn Vermeule updated CB-6692:
-------------------------------

    Description:=20
Google recently released the Android Camera as an app in the Play Store ([L=
ink|https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=3Dcom.google.android.Goog=
leCamera]). It seems that the most recent version of Google Camera prevents=
 Cordova to launch/connect to the app.

When removing Google Camera (and thus reverting to the system Camera) Cordo=
va can successfully take pictures. Cordova fails when I reinstall Google Ca=
mera again.

Cordova fails with the error message "Can't connect to the camera." (see at=
tached screenshot). The camera does start and I am able to take pictures (f=
rom the camera's point of view) but Cordova will always fail and call the e=
rror handler.

JavaScript code I'm using to launch the camera:

{code:JavaScript}
        navigator.camera.getPicture(
            function(imageData) {
                $('.taken-image').attr('src', imageData);
            },
            function() {
                alert('Picture has not been taken ...');
            }, {
                quality: 50,
                destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
                sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA
            });
{code}

I've tested this on a Nexus 4 and 5.
