Christian Kuetbach commented on CB-2501:
----------------------------------------
On example:
If you want to get a attachment from gmail, you will only get a content:// url.
From the URL, you cannot create a File, because it simply not exists as file.
> FileUtils.getMimeType(String file) does not work for content:// URIs

> Key: CB-2501
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2501
> 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()
