Description

Although this should work, I cannot make it work - on android 6.0, i always have the same issue concerning permissions - maybe I overlooked something, but I dont know what

Whith the following super simple demo JS and latest Cordova and latest version of all plugins, I get:

navigator.device.capture.captureVideo(function(){},function(e)

{console.log(e);}

,

{limit:1}

);

In the console, I get:
Permission Denial: starting Intent

{ act=android.media.action.VIDEO_CAPTURE cmp=com.google.android.GoogleCamera/com.android.camera.VideoCamera (has extras) }

from ProcessRecord

{7481fe2 17042:tv.nexx.android.gdtv/u0a183}

(pid=17042, uid=10183) with revoked permission android.permission.CAMERA

In Android Studio I get:

Uncaught exception from plugin
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { act=android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE flg=0x3 cmp=com.google.android.GoogleCamera/com.android.camera.CaptureActivity clip=

{text/uri-list U:file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/tv.nexx.android.gdtv/cache/.Pic.jpg}

(has extras) } from ProcessRecord

{7481fe2 17042:tv.nexx.android.gdtv/u0a183}

(pid=17042, uid=10183) with revoked permission android.permission.CAMERA
