Joe Bowser commented on CB-5398:
--------------------------------
OK, This is true broken-ness!
KitKat in theory handles these URI's like this:
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image:3951
KitKat in practice gives you permission to this URI:
content://com.android.providers.media.documents/document/image%A3951
So, if you were to decode the URI and try to access the actual image, you get a
permissions error, because that's not what you were given permission to access.
These permissions are per document and per intent, so just giving your app
MANAGE_DOCUMENTS permission isn't going to fly either. This isn't going to be
fixed any time soon, and I don't want broken Android behaviour to hold up our
release.

> Key: CB-5398
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5398
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, Plugin Camera
> Affects Versions: 2.9.0, 3.2.0
> Environment: android 4.4
> Reporter: julio cesar
> Assignee: Mike Billau
>
> An android 4.4 try to pick a photo using pictureSource.PHOTOLIBRARY or
> pictureSource.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM and return type destinationType.FILE_URI.
> Now android 4.4, when you select the above options, it opens an "open from"
> dialog that let you choose from new places as "Recent", "Drive", "Images"
> and "Downloads" (the names might not be the same as I use the device in
> spanish and translated it).
> If you choose any of them, you get an error, AndroidProtocolHandler, unable
> to open content URL: the url here with a content://com.android.providers
> format.
> I've tested on phonegap 2.9 because this is the version I use, but I suppose
> it affects all of them. (in fact I use 2.9.1)
