Description

When using navigator.camera.getPicture on Moto Droid X and the DATA_URL option, large return buffers will crash the app at the point of getPicture (generating a toast with force close). Here's a sample of the code:

navigator.camera.getPicture(onPhotoDataSuccess, onFail,

{ quality: 100, destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL }

);

This code appears to function correctly on other devices we have tested that are running Android 2.3.4. The issue is only seen on our Droid X devices (we have tried two different Droid X's).

Reducing the image size by lowering the quality to 20 or below will allow the program to process correctly. This can also be accomplished by shrinking the image size using the targetHeight/targetWidth options.
