Unable to load image when selected from the gallery on Android 4.4 (KitKat) using PhoneGap Camera Plugin

I\'m trying to set the source of an img tag in my app based on the image chosen from the device image gallery using the PhoneGap/Cordova Camera Plugin.

It has worked

A kind of really-very-dirty workaround works for me while this bug is fixed. Use in case of extreme necessity :)

if (imageURI.substring(0,21)=="content://com.android") {
  photo_split=imageURI.split("%3A");
  imageURI="content://media/external/images/media/"+photo_split[1];
}
