apache / cordova-plugin-camera

Until a few months ago, Motorola users with Android 11 and Android 12 were able to open the camera and take pictures, but recently this feature stopped working.
Users with Motorola devices running Android 10 or below can still take pictures, and users with Samsung devices running Android 11+ can also take photos.

Is there something wrong with my code or config.xml? Or did something change in Android 12 that requires changes to cordova and plugin request mode?

These are the settings I have since the last update of my app:

Function in JS that opens the camera

function openCameraAndroid() {
    var srcType = Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
        options = setOptionsCamera(srcType);

    navigator.camera.getPicture(function cameraSuccess(imageUri) {

        $scope.selectFileAndUpload({ url: imageUri });

    }, function cameraError(error) {
        console.debug("Unable to obtain picture: " + error, "app");

    }, options);
}

Had the same issue and was due to temp files, added a try catch block to fix it and solved the issue.

cordova-plugin-camera/src/android/CameraLauncher.java

Line 1242 in 827bb61

this.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null);

- this.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null);
+ try {
+   this.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null);
+ } catch (Exception ex) {
+ // do nothing
+ }

Can try and see if it works.

you are using version 4 of the plugin, you have to use version 6 of the plugin, it was fixed here
