Hi I am developing simple application with Ionic2 and Angular2 but I have problem with images from user gallery. I can select image from gallery but after selection I don’t see this image in application (in my img tag). Any solution or advice?

This is my code using Image Picker plugin

> **[Ionic Framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/image-picker/)**
>
> Ionic is the app platform for web developers. Build amazing mobile, web, and desktop apps all with one shared code base and open web standards

Html:

```
<button (click)="openGallery()">Open gallery</button>
<img style="width: 200px; height: 200px; border: 1px red solid;" [src]="url"/>

```

TypeScript:

```
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; 
import { ImagePicker } from 'ionic-native';

@Component({
  templateUrl: 'item-details.html'
})
export class ItemDetailsPage {
  url: string;

  openGallery():void {
    ImagePicker.getPictures({}).then((results) => {
      console.log('selected image: ' + results[0]);
      this.url = results[0];
    }, (err) => {
      console.log(err);
    });
  }
}

```

Output from console:

```
selected image: file:///data/user/0/com.ionicframework.myionic2project610206/cache/tmp_IMG_20161113_165108713062002.jpg

```

I am running application on tablet with Android 6.0.1 and I am using command:

```
ionic run android -c -l

```

Cordova version:

```
λ cordova platform ls
Installed platforms:
android 6.0.0

```

Inside config.xml I have:

```
<access origin="*"/>

```

Ionic version:

```
λ ionic -v
2.1.8
```
