Description

Hi
Not sure if I am doing anything wrong or it's a bug.

I am using Phonegap / cordova CLI

Plugin: cordova-plugin-camera (latest version 2.2.0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my code sample:

========================================================================
var pictureSource;
var destinationType;
document.addEventListener("deviceready",onDeviceReady,false);
function onDeviceReady() {
pictureSource=navigator.camera.PictureSourceType;
destinationType=navigator.camera.DestinationType;
}
function getMedia() {
var gallery_options =

{ quality: 50, destinationType: destinationType.FILE_URI, sourceType: PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY, mediaType: 2 }

;
navigator.camera.getPicture(onSuccess, onFail, gallery_options);
}
function onSuccess(url) {
alert(url); // getting NULL here
}
=========================================================================

As you can see, I am getting photos and videos from Gallery and destination type is file Url.
MediaType is set to 2 which means both photos and videos.

If mediaType is 0 > then no problem. It returns image url
If it is 1 (video only) returns NULL
if it is 2, returns NULL on both images and videos.

It seems to be working only when mediaType is 0 !! (but I need both photos and videos!)

This only happens on Android !!
on iOS device, no issue.

I have tried on Developers app, emulator, real device...same result!

Any help would be much appreciated!
