Björn Vermeule updated CB-6692: ------------------------------- Description: Google recently released the Android Camera as an app in the Play Store ([link|https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera]). It seems that the most recent version of Google Camera prevents Cordova to launch/connect to the app. When removing Google Camera (and thus reverting to the system Camera) Cordova can successfully take pictures. Cordova fails when I reinstall Google Camera again. Cordova fails with the error message "Can't connect to the camera." (see attached screenshot). The camera does start and I am able to take pictures (from the camera's point of view) but Cordova will always fail and call the error handler. JavaScript code I'm using to launch the camera: {code:JavaScript} navigator.camera.getPicture( function(imageData) { $('.taken-image').attr('src', imageData); }, function() { alert('Picture has not been taken ...'); }, { quality: 50, destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI, sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA }); {code} I've tested this on a Nexus 4 and 5. was: Google recently released the Android Camera as an app in the Play Store ([Link|https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera]).
