Bugfix issue 665

[PieterVanPoyer]

Platforms affected

Android

Motivation and Context

Fixes #665
Fixes #696

Description

In the processResultFromCamera method, the imageFilePath is used.
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/blob/master/src/android/CameraLauncher.java#L475
It was not restored when the activity was destroyed.

cordova-plugin-camera/src/android/CameraLauncher.java

Line 1356 in b43c78b

public void onRestoreStateForActivityResult(Bundle state, CallbackContext callbackContext) {

This resulted in a NullPointerException because the resulting sourcePath was null.

cordova-plugin-camera/src/android/CameraLauncher.java

Line 473 in b43c78b

String sourcePath = (this.allowEdit && this.croppedUri != null) ?

So I've added the imageFilePath to the state Bundle in the saveInstance and the restoreInstance methods.

You can install and test the plugin (on Android) with next command.

npx cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-camera
npx cordova plugin add https://github.com/PieterVanPoyer/cordova-plugin-camera/#bugfix/issue-665-save-instance-restore-bug

You could test it with next reproduction repo:

Testing

Tested it on an Android 10 emulator.
I enabled the developers mode on the emulator and made the activity destroy everytime the camera is shown.
So I forced the resume flow on Android

Generally I like to have 2 green checks, but I'll merge sometime Monday assuming there are no objections. Sooner if I get another green check from a PMC member.

Tests are green, and haven't had any objections so merging!
