File mapUriToFile returns null

[furaiev]

Hi,
It seems like the method below is depricated and should be replaced with Fileproviders

cordova-android/framework/src/org/apache/cordova/CordovaResourceApi.java

Line 148 in 23b2449

public File mapUriToFile(Uri uri) {

Maybe #468 addresses this? I admit I'm not especially familiar with Android filesystem stuff, so it hasn't gotten the review it deserves yet

I am also curious about this. I'm using https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media-capture to capture video within my app.
The plugin returns this from the intent after capturing video:
content://com.sec.android.app.camera.files/root/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/Video-VDO_20210723_130732.mp4
on Android 11, Galaxy Tab A7, which then mapUriToFile returns null
as this line within mapUriToFile yields -1
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(LOCAL_FILE_PROJECTION[0]);
which then crashes the plugin with this error getAbsolutePath()' on a null object
So obviously there's probably a null catch missing in the media capture plugin, but I'm wondering if the webview should be able to parse the com.sec.android.app.camera... uri? Or maybe the camera hardware is storing the file in the wrong spot?

I'm looking in to the plugin as well, but I'm wondering if this is correct?

On other Android devices we've tried, it works. Another Android 11 device yields something like content://media/0000-0000/video/media/24513

Edit - It looks like the media-capture plugin people might be aware of this - apache/cordova-plugin-media-capture#215 . I will try and update this if this is the case, so if anyone else gets to here like I did will see the (hopeful) updated plugin.
