Christian Kuetbach commented on CB-2501:
----------------------------------------
OK, I think I mixed two problems:
1. I used cordova 2.2 in my project. There was a bug, that a file with a
Upper-Case extension did not work (See the android-bug I linked).
2. MimeTypeMap only works for file://, because a content:// has no
file-extension. One should use the content-resolver for any mimetype (and size)
mappings.
As I started the create a patch for problem 1. I found out, it was already
fixed.
The suggestion, that the mimetype can only be resolved with the
content-resolver is fixed in line 1013, but only for one call.
String contentType = null;
if (filename.startsWith("content:")) {
Uri fileUri = Uri.parse(filename);
contentType =
this.cordova.getActivity().getContentResolver().getType(fileUri);
}
else {
contentType = getMimeType(filename);
}
But I think, it would be better, to only use the contentresolver.
But to fix this, the complete mechanism with createFileObject() have to be
replaced by the content-resolver. because, from a content:// you may not create
a File-object.
I think there should be a review of this class.

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Reporter: Christian Kuetbach
> Assignee: Max Woghiren
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.4.0
>
>
> There is a bug in Android:
> http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8806
> Because of this the returned mime type will be wrong, if the file extension
> is not lowercase.
> myImage.jpg -> image/jpg
> myImage.JPG -> null
> I will provide a patch, which simply converts the filepath to lower case, but
> think there is a better solution than using the MimeTypeMap. The Class
> ContentResolver has a method getType()
