Remco Haszing created CB-9819:
---------------------------------

             Summary: navigator.camera.getPicture returns a base64 string, not a data url.
                 Key: CB-9819
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9819
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin Camera
            Reporter: Remco Haszing
            Priority: Minor


When calling {{navigator.camera.getPicture}} with {{destinationType}} set to {{Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL}}, the success function is called with the base64 encoded data. [RFC2397|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2397] specified the data url should have the following format:

{code}data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data>{code}

I would expect the data to be passed in this format, when a {{DATA_URL}} format is requested.

The example in the README handles this _"bug"_

{code:javascript}
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
});

function onSuccess(imageData) {
    var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
    image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}

function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
{code}

Instead I suggest the following options:

* base64 encoded:

{code:javascript}
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.BASE64_ENCODED
});

function onSuccess(imageData) {
    var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
    image.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}

function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
{code}

* data url:

{code:javascript}
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, { quality: 50,
    destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL
});

function onSuccess(imageData) {
    var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
    image.src = imageData;
}

function onFail(message) {
    alert('Failed because: ' + message);
}
{code}
