App restart after selected image from gallery

birdmwit18 · July 7, 2014, 4:44am

I’m using Samsung S3(android 4.3)
I need to load Base64 using getPicture from gallery

Here is part of my code

navigator.camera.getPicture(
		function(fileuri){
                    /* Read base64 from file_uri */
		},
		function(message){
			console.log('Failed because: ' + message);
		},{ 	
		quality: 50,
		destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
		sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY
	});

Here’s read base64 function

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(fileuri,function(fileEntry){
    fileEntry.file(function(file){
        var reader = new FileReader();
	reader.onloadend = function(evt) {
		console.log("read success");
		console.log(evt.target.result);
	};
	reader.onerror = function(){
		console.log('load image error');
	};
	reader.onabort = function(){
		console.log('load image aborted');
	};
	reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    },logfail);
}, logfail);

I’ve tried getPicture using Camera it’s work well with no problem.

too hard to debug without more info

What we need to know is:
With what are you developing?
How your building your App (phonegap build/telerik platform, inhouse?..)
tell us everything you can!

Coze looking at your code i don’t see a problem.

But what i have readed is most likely you’re facing a out of memory problem:
http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/getting_image_from_camera_or_folder_restarts_app_android_samsung_galaxy_s_iii

I would try using the plugin form stackoverflow question.

I had something similar but on ios, the problem is within my IDE (Livesync from Appbuilder)
so i can not change it, have to wait for a fix:-D

This issue has been known for years…and they decided not to fix it. It really seems ridiculous that your app can be randomly garbage collected when you use plugins…Wow. I’ve quickly concluded that cordova is not a good platform. It’s clear from things like this…the basic camera is inoperable… Shouldn’t the ionic team take over here and fix some of these basic, critical issues? Who will use a platform that restarts the app? Now I have to use some foreground camera plugin that isn’t being developed on anymore and doesn’t work with ngcordova? What is this?
See for yourself how crazy this is.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1513.

IONIC do us all a favor and fork all of cordova…fix it…and put it on github with your name on it. PLEASE. I can’t get my picture to orient correctly until i set a target height (even with correctOrientation= true) and it took be 30 minutes of research…no error…no warning…These plugins are awful. I might as well go back to native.

recently after updating my android from 4.3 to 4.4 and rooting my device I am getting the same behaviour. When I select an image from gallery the application is restarted, but before on rooted android 4.3 it was working fine. Here is a short logcat, I assume the problem is in this part:
