PhoneGap - storing an image, then getting its base64encoded data

Question

I am using the PhoneGap Camera API to take a picture and store it using destinationType.FILE_URI. This portion is working. I can subsequently take the path prov

Answer 1

It is because the Android OS has a URI handler for the content:// protocol. The File API does not. However, there is a way for you to convert a content:// type URI into a FileEntry. Use:

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI("content://media/external/images/media/4292", win, fail);

and the success callback win will be called with a FileEntry for you.
