Android: taking snapshot do not return actual camera preview

See original GitHub issue

I use method CameraPreview.takeSnapshot(function (base64PictureData) ), because we taking not standard size of picture and it is important feature. So method takePicture() does not fit for my situation. Seems on android phones and tablet plugin is making picture bigger that actual size of camera preview. I tried it on real devices and emulator. For ios I haven’t notice this problem. I also attach screenShots, which show the problem Снимок экрана 2019-08-13 в 11 23 48 Снимок экрана 2019-08-13 в 11 23 41

PR #209 is what introduced this functionality. I would actually like to see the ability to take picture of the preview. If anyone wanted to take a stab at adding the old behaviour back by maybe adding an option to take pictures as preview or full size photo (current).

Yep, we are doing the same but doing it with js slows down the process quite a bit… on android seems like it will show the centered part so we are calculating the crop area based on that
