Hi There,

Anyone experiencing with Camera not longer working after recent Android update for Galaxy S7.

Error message:

file ///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ionic.viewapp/cache/.Pic.jpg exposed beyond app through ClipData.Item.getUri()

Sample Code:

this.camera.getPicture({
  quality: 100,
  destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
  encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.PNG,
  mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE,
  sourceType: this.camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA
}).then(imageData => {
  this.myPhotoURL = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + imageData;
}, error => {
  console.log("ERROR -> " + JSON.stringify(error));
  this.myPhotoStatus = "ERROR -> " + JSON.stringify(error);
});
