-------------------------------------
Yup, I can reproduce this in Android 5.1.1 with camera plugin 1.2.0. This seems
like a pretty major bug. [~bowserj] what do you think?
> A user's photos can be deleted if they leave a cordova application using
> cordova-plugin-camera

> Key: CB-9506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9506
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Camera
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Cody Balos
>
> Currently, the camera plugin checks the number of pictures saved to the
> device before any pictures are captured using the camera started via the
> plugin, and then checks the difference between the amount of photos before
> and after. Relying on this method introduces the possibility of deleting
> photos a user takes outside the cordova started camera. For example, consider
> this scenario:
> A user of a cordova application utilizes a cordova-plugin-camera backed
> camera feature , and while in the camera activity, switches to a different
> application. While in this different application the user takes a photo. Now
> the user returns to the cordova application, and is still in the camera
> activity. They take the photo, and accept it. Now the cleanup process inside
> cordova-plugin-camera begins, but, because of relying on the difference
> between the amount of photos before and after the activity, the photo the
> user took outside of the cordova application is deleted.
> This issue exists already in the checkForDuplicateImage function, does have
> the ill behavior from the above example. However, it is limited by its
> implementation to removing no more than 2 of the photos taken outside of the
> cordova application.
