John Reeves commented on CB-205:
--------------------------------

This probably isn't the place to discuss the differences between DATA_URL and FILE_URI.  But since I already started, I think the point is you should avoid ever using a base64 encoded version of your photos.  I mean, what purpose does that serve?  You can reference it by its FILE_URI to display it, and you can send it to the server with FileTransfer.  If you were planning on doing some sort of image manipulation in your app, then I don't know what your options are, but they probably still don't include using a base64 encoded string of image data.

If you still want to talk about this, I suggest heading over to #phonegap on irc.freenode.net.  They've been pretty helpful for me.

>             Project: Apache Callback
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
>         Environment: Phonegap Sample App
> Droid 3 with current updates (Android 2.3.4)
> Native (for droid 3) camera app.
>            Reporter: John Reeves

> # In the sample app, click the button to take a picture.
> # The camera app launches, take a picture, and tap done.
> # The sample app reappears but there is no indication that the picture was taken.
> I made a simple app to test this, which should simply alert the FILE_URI result, or alert something on error.  Neither callbacks are hit, instead the app restarts.  If you view the logcat, it shows a console.log() right before launching the camera, and the next log message after taking the picture shows a new PID and other logs related to the app starting.
> This happens in any app I have tried this with, even the simplest "take a picture and alert the path" app.  It also happens with alternative camera apps.  I've tried a couple of 3rd party camera apps with the same outcome.
> This might be related - They describe the exact behavior I see, but I tried using their modified phonegap.jar with no luck.
