Description

I am trying to use the window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL but for some reason my failure callback is always triggered. The success callback is never triggered. This is my code:

// Take a picture using the camera
$scope.takePicture = function () {
    var options = {
      quality: 100,
      targetWidth: 500,
      targetHeight: 500,
      destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
      encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
      saveToPhotoAlbum: true,
      correctOrientation: true,
      sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
      allowEdit: true
    };

    navigator.camera.getPicture(
      cameraSuccess,
      cameraFailure,
      options
    );
    return false;
  };

  // what to do when the camera has  successfully yielded a good image
  function cameraSuccess(imageURI){
    var uri = 'cdv' + imageURI;
    alert('this is imageURI: ' + imageURI);
    window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(imageURI, resolvePhotoPath, fail);
  };

When I print out the imageURI, I get something like this:
file:///storage/sdcard0/DCIM/Camera/1395126124474.jpg

I can confirm that when I look at that path using the Files application on an android, the file is indeed there. But when the code runs and it executes the window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL, the fail callback is always triggered with an error of {"code":5}.

I've seen that that means there's an ENCODING_ERR but a bit baffled as to what is causing that. The file does save properly to that location so I am at a loss at to why the code will fail.

Any help here?
