Not getting anything from the file path returned on Android.

The result I get from the PictureTakenHandler, when on Android, looks like /data/data/com.myAppName/files/camerapreview_09_02_2016_1152_04_preview.jpg

From what I understand, that looks correct. However, when I try to simply use that path as the src attribute in an tag, I just get a broken image like maybe there is no file there.

Any idea why this may be happening? Does that path look correct? Might it be failing to actually store the picture there?

@Djagu Yes I have. Sorry. I should have posted back much sooner, but I had forgotten I posted here. I still haven’t been able get a path that I could use directly in an 's src attribute, but my ultimate goal was to get the file’s base64 for database storage, which works as a src attribute as well, so hopefully this helps you too.

resolveLocalFileSystemURL('file:///'+result[1], function(fileEntry) {
    fileEntry.file(function(file) {
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function(event) {
                base64 = event.target.result; //Here is your base64 string
        };
            reader.readAsDataURL(file);
    });
});

After digging around a few different places, this is what my code looks like. Maybe you will understand what is going on here more than I do in order to better use it to fit your purposes. Unfortunately, I still don’t have a very firm grasp on handling files with JavaScript, but this got me the base64 data that I needed.

**Important Note: You need to append “file:///” to the beginning of your result in order for resolveLocalFileSystemURL() to work.

I hope that this helps.
