Description

Camera is not working when Activity launchMode is set to singleInstance instead of singleTop. Camera plugin is loaded but Cordova get no data from it. When launching plugin "adb logcat" says : "Camera cancelled".

Using singleTop is very useful when your app is called with Intents, indeed you app is not reloaded, you just have to change URL in onNewIntent() method with loadUrl().
