cleverappdesign edited a comment on issue #486: Android : Camera cannot be opened with Cordova 9 URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/issues/486#issuecomment-575944828 ### The gallery works after I added the following permission in the config.xml: ``` <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> ``` ### However, the camera is still not working: `Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.XmlResourceParser android.content.pm.PackageItemInfo.loadXmlMetaData(android.content.pm.PackageManager, java.lang.String)' on a null object reference` At first, the initial try on opening the camera asked the user for permission, then it crashes the app. When you re-enter the app and tried to open the camera again, it throws the above error, which is same as @GuiF007 's issue. ### Adding the following code suggested above to config.xml did not fix my issue: ``` <config-file mode="merge" parent="application" target="AndroidManifest.xml"> <provider android:authorities="${applicationId}.provider" android:exported="false" android:grantUriPermissions="true" android:name="org.apache.cordova.camera.FileProvider"> <meta-data android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS" android:resource="@xml/camera_provider_paths" /> </provider> </config-file> ``` ### Here's my ionic info ``` Ionic: ionic (Ionic CLI) : 4.10.2 Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.9.3 @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.2 Cordova: cordova (Cordova CLI) : 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1) Cordova Platforms : android 8.1.0, ios 5.0.1 ``` Has anyone found a fix for this yet? Thanks for your help.
