Incorrect path returned for saved photo

Open calculusdev opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Bug Report

Problem

Launch the camera to capture a photo; take the photo; examine the opject returned. The fullPath property of the returned object is something like file:///storage/emulated/0/Pictures/1652174370741.jpg, while the image file is actually saved to something like file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/IMG_20220510_101151.jpg.

What is expected to happen?

The correct file path is returned for the newly-created file.

What does actually happen?

An incorrect file path is returned. Although the photo is saved to disk, there is no way to identify it from the information returned.

Information

The video capture works fine. The fullPath property of the returned object is like file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/VID_20220510_101151.mp4, and that's the actual path to the saved file.

At least one other person has mentioned a permissions problem causing problems with accessing the file from the information returned. I don't believe this is anything to do with permissions, given that the image file actually saves, and it works fine for video files.

(I can't try audio - I get a "No Activity found the handle Audio Capture" error.)

Environment, Platform, Device

Nokia 7.2 Android 11

Version information

Cordova Android 10.1.2 Media capture plugin versions 3.0.3 and 4.0.0-dev (I've not investigated video behaviour in 3.0.3). File plugin versions 6.0.2 (for 3.0.3) and 7.0.0 (for 4.0.0-dev) Awesome Cordova plugins wrapper version 5.39.1

I have the same problems as you, also the single MediaFile has a field named "localURL" which will be usefull but it is not accessible for some reason.

The Audio issue is also annoying.

I'm trying to convert the MediaFile into a Blob but most of the data is wrong.

This will be a problem with the awesome-cordova-plugin wrapper, rather than this project. I spotted it too, but it's still got the wrong filename for the photo.
