Description

Currently when trying to access some photos from Google Photos, it fails to load. Android 8.0 on Google Pixel, cordova version 6.5.0, cordova-plugin-camera version 2.4.1.

Causes:
1) Only mimetypes "image/jpeg" and "image/png" are accepted, all other types are considered an invalid image. The mimetype of the image I am loading gets set to "image/*".
2) In FileHelper.java: when hitting the isGooglePhotosUri method, the uri authority is compared against "com.google.android.apps.photos.content", where the actual is "com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider". This causes the logic to dismiss the image as not from Google Photos.

After applying fixes for these two areas, I am able to successfully load all of my images.
Merge request here.
