Hey [~bowserj],
After upgrading to cordova 5/android platform 4 the results returning to the
plugin.
But the webview is restarted so there is no js callback.
So what i did is that of the plugin see that the result callback is null, it
saves the result to the app Preference
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/preference/Preference.html
And on my js code startup i'm reading that to my js code using this plugin
https://github.com/apla/me.apla.cordova.app-preferences
and deleting it.
This way we overcome the problem with the camera plugin that the webview tends
to close when the gallery/camera activities are opened.
I think cordova should have built it way to get plugin results after restart.
it can be appended to the device ready event, and if the developer is looking
for it he will get it from there
> Add api/way to get plugins results even when Cordova activity restarts

> In android when you have a plugin that opens new activity the CordovaActivity
> will be killed and you won't get the result from the plugin.
> The new activity will get the results but because the plugin objects are dead
> and the webview reloaded you can get the data to the js callback.
> The most noticeable example is the camera plugin. (And maybe its the same
> with even more platforms)
> possible solution for this is to add metadata to the device ready event with
> incoming data from plugins.
> I see that this code:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/3.6.x/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/CordovaActivity.java#L779-L784
> is trying to do some recovery but from some reason
> ```
> if(callback != null) {
> ```
> fails. maybe the plugins didn't loaded yet?
