Description

Using a Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N8010 with android 4.1.2 produces an exception in the Exif class. This is due to a filePath being null on line 66 of src/android/ExifHelper.java

 new ExifInterface(filePath)

This error has been introduced when the switch was made to using Cursors. This error did not happen in with the camera plugin bundled with Phone Gap 3.4.

This has been duplicated by other developers independently
