Bug Report

openCamera() {
    const options: CameraOptions = {
      quality: 100,
      destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
      encodingType: this.camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
      mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.PICTURE
    };

    this.camera.getPicture(options).then((imageData) => {
      console.log(imageData);
    }, (err) => {
      console.log(err);
    });
  }

This is my code. It's very simple, I tried on Android 9 and Android 10, Also i played with the different CameraOptions but always i get "Illegal Argument Exception"

Problem

What is expected to happen?

I have expected the camera open

What does actually happen?

Throw the error Illegal Argument Exception

Getting same issue. Tried every possible way for it. But seems crashed inn native code. Please Help us in to that.

Thank you

breautek · 2020-11-18T17:32:08Z

Can someone let me know if the error goes away if <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="28" /> is used?

Note that targeting API 28 won't be google play store compliant but will tell us if this is a problem introduced by an android API change.

naitikpatel1990 · 2020-11-18T17:39:22Z

@breautek

After add that still getting same error.

breautek · 2020-11-18T17:50:11Z

Thanks for trying.

We'll probably will require a Sample Reproduction App to move this issue along.

jonapachanga · 2020-11-24T13:00:52Z

Hi, I created a Sample Reproduction App as suggested by @breautek and to my surprise the plugin works fine. The only difference is the version of the plugin, in my project i have:

"@ionic-native/camera": "^5.29.0"
"cordova-plugin-camera": "^5.0.1"

And the new one

"@ionic-native/camera": "^5.30.0"
"cordova-plugin-camera": "^5.0.1"

i updated my project but it still doesn't work. Are there any plugin what interfere with camera plugin?

the strange thing is that when I use the plugin to select an image from the gallery it works fine

naitikpatel1990 · 2021-01-05T14:16:36Z

@jonapachanga

I suspect that latest plugin is getting same error with ionic 5 version.

I do have same plugin in ionic 4 working fine.

Can you confirm on that?

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-01-08T19:27:08Z

@jonapachanga can you add a stacktrace? I am not sure if it is a Javascript exception or a native plugin exception.

naitikpatel1990 · 2021-01-09T05:45:24Z

@PieterVanPoyer

Might be following might help to identified issue:

FYI: Permission for camera is given manually. First time camera permission was not asked and app is just crashed. Something really missing or crashed.

naitikpatel1990 · 2021-01-09T11:39:04Z

Hey,

I fixed by changed some code in CameraLauncher.java file but it's not proper as i did hardcoded there.

in public void takePicture(int returnType, int encodingType) method has following code:

this.imageUri = new CordovaUri(FileProvider.getUriForFile(cordova.getActivity(),
                applicationId + ".provider",
                photo));

here somehow in ionic 5 applicationId got not found and throwing that error.

so for now i hard coded like following:

this.imageUri = new CordovaUri(FileProvider.getUriForFile(cordova.getActivity(),
                 "my.application.packgeID.provider", // my.application.packgeID is my app package id 
                photo));

and bingo it's working.

But we need proper solution to grab package id there it's not dynamic for now as i don't know it's ionic 5 issue or plugin code issue till now. :)

Thank you

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-01-09T19:40:21Z

Strange. Normally there is a BuildConfig.class generated. (Not the one under org.apache.cordova)

The applicationId is read from the BuildConfig in the CameraLauncer.

Is the BuildConfig class generated when you run your app?
What is the content of it? Can you share a screenshot?

naitikpatel1990 · 2021-01-13T11:37:26Z

@PieterVanPoyer

that can be happened and missed packageID in my code either of following reasons:

I did changed my packageID and uninstall and install platform in ionic after that or
we are on IONIC 5 where it was not working. FYI: in ionic 4 with same plugin i can able to open camera without any changes in plugin what i did above.

Above might help you to identified issue.

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-01-13T12:46:30Z

@naitikpatel1990 can you search for a BuildConfig class in your project? Like in my screenshot? Is it present in your project after building or during debugging?

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-05-19T18:58:54Z

Is this issue still present. If it is not reproducable in a plain Cordova app, we won't be able to help.

If the issue is solved, please close it.

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-05-26T20:59:05Z

@naitikpatel1990 Is this issue still present. If it is not reproducable in a plain Cordova app, we won't be able to help and need to close this issue.

If the issue is solved, please close it.

naitikpatel1990 · 2021-05-31T07:49:17Z

@PieterVanPoyer

Issue is not opened by me so i can't close it.

Regarding issue i gave all possible ways i tried and it seems working for me. So not gonna make sample app and integrate as too much overloaded with other tasks for now.

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-05-31T08:01:30Z

@naitikpatel1990 thanks for the info. Indeed you did not open this issue.

@jonapachanga Is this issue still present with the latest camera version (v5.0.2)? If it is not reproducable in a plain Cordova app, we won't be able to help and need to close this issue.

If the issue is solved, please close it.

PieterVanPoyer · 2021-06-01T20:14:21Z

Issue is being closed due to missing reproduction cordova app.

This worked for me but I figured out if you do this it will resolve it without having to hard-code the applicationId in:

    public boolean execute(String action, JSONArray args, CallbackContext callbackContext) throws JSONException {
        this.callbackContext = callbackContext;

        //Adding an API to CoreAndroid to get the BuildConfigValue
        //This allows us to not make this a breaking change to embedding
        // BROKEN: this.applicationId = (String) BuildHelper.getBuildConfigValue(cordova.getActivity(), "APPLICATION_ID");
        // BROKEN: this.applicationId = preferences.getString("applicationId", this.applicationId);
        this.applicationId = cordova.getActivity().getPackageName(); // ADDED

why not use cxt.getPackageName?
