Answer 1

see this answer:

    if (imageUri.toString().substring(0,21).equals("content://com.android")) {
          String [] photo_split= imageUri.toString().split("%3A");
          String imageUriBasePath = "content://media/external/images/media/"+photo_split[1];
           imageUri= Uri.parse(imageUriBasePath );

        }

Answer 2

Whenever some uri is passed into <img src="uri" /> it's implicitly decoded from

content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%3A9888 (1)

into

content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:9888 (2)

However, after returning from Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT or Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT Android provides you with the read permission for (1), not (2). In this case WebView will expectantly log an error:

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: reading com.android.providers.media.MediaDocumentsProvider uri content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:9888 from pid=13163, uid=10165 requires android.permission.MANAGE_DOCUMENTS, or grantUriPermission()

or

Unable to open content URL

Code snippet

All you need to resolve the issue is

    String uriToUseInWebView = transformForWebView(uri.toString());

    private String transformForWebView(String uri) {
        for (int i = 0; i < timesDecodingWebView(); i++)
            uri = uri.replace("%", Uri.encode("%"));
        return uri;
    }

    private int timesDecodingWebView() {
        if (Build.VERSION.RELEASE.equals("4.4.2")) {
            return 2;
        } else {
            return 1;
        }
    }

in your Java code before passing uri into HTML/JS to ensure that (1) will be actually loaded.

I've tested that on 4.4.2, 4.4.4 and 5.0. The funny part is that Android 4.4.2 decodes the uri internally twice.

Try this..

In Camera Plugin there is one FileHelper.java File, Replace the plugin getRealPath with my this my method.

For more details you can follow this -> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5398

FileHelper.java

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public static String getRealPath(String uriString, CordovaInterface cordova) {
        String realPath = null;


        final boolean isKitKat = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;

        // DocumentProvider
        if (isKitKat) {
        Cursor cursor =  cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse(uriString), null, null, null, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        String document_id = cursor.getString(0);
        document_id = document_id.substring(document_id.lastIndexOf(":")+1);
        cursor.close();

        cursor = cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().query( 
        android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
        null, MediaStore.Images.Media._ID + " = ? ", new String[]{document_id}, null);
        cursor.moveToFirst();
        String path = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATA));
        realPath = path;
        cursor.close();
        }else{

        if (uriString.startsWith("content://")) {
            String[] proj = { _DATA };
            Cursor cursor = cordova.getActivity().managedQuery(Uri.parse(uriString), proj, null, null, null);
            int column_index = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(_DATA);
            cursor.moveToFirst();
            realPath = cursor.getString(column_index);
            if (realPath == null) {
                LOG.e(LOG_TAG, "Could get real path for URI string %s", uriString);
            }
        } else if (uriString.startsWith("file://")) {
            realPath = uriString.substring(7);
            if (realPath.startsWith("/android_asset/")) {
                LOG.e(LOG_TAG, "Cannot get real path for URI string %s because it is a file:///android_asset/ URI.", uriString);
                realPath = null;
            }
        } else {
            realPath = uriString;
        }

        }
        return realPath;
    }

In CameraLauncher.java Class therer is one method processResultFromGallery

private void processResultFromGallery

Find this code:

    if (this.targetHeight == -1 && this.targetWidth == -1 &&
                (destType == FILE_URI || destType == NATIVE_URI) && !this.correctOrientation){

        this.callbackContext.success(uri.toString());
    }

And replace with this:

    if (this.targetHeight == -1 && this.targetWidth == -1 &&
                (destType == FILE_URI || destType == NATIVE_URI) && !this.correctOrientation) {

            String s    =FileHelper.getRealPath(uri.toString(), cordova);
            Log.i("test","<<<<ifURI::::::"+s +"URI::::" + uri.toString());
            this.callbackContext.success(s);

     }
