---------------------------------
Summary: Returned file inconsistencies between platforms
Key: CB-6618
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6618
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin Media Capture
Affects Versions: 3.4.0
Environment: iOS, Android
Reporter: Jeff Sawatzky
Here is a little matrix that I've put together based on my experiences:
|X|||iOS|||Android||
|*Photo Saved to Library*|yes|yes|
|*Video Saved to Library*|no|yes|
|*Location of Media returned*|tmp|library|
So, as you can see, there are inconsistencies with whether or not the captured
media is saved to the user's library. Also, there are inconsistencies with
whether or not it returns a copy in the tmp folder (even if it did save to the
library), or a path to the version in the library.
This causes issues with my app when trying to decide if it is safe to delete
the file returned once I am done with it. On android the user has the gallery
app to manage the files so I don't need to delete them. On iOS there is no UI
to manage the tmp files, so I need to delete them once I am done with them.
Problem is, I don't want to be writing a bunch of code for each platform (isn't
cordova supposed to abstract this for us). It would be nice if the capture
plugin provided details as to whether or not we should be cleaning up the media
returned.
