Error description

• A hybrid application may force close or fail to capture data
  when returning from the camera view, when using the cordova
  built-in
  camera recording plugin (navigator.camera.getPicture function).
  
  The following errors will be logged upon the force close:
  
  java.lang.RuntimeException: Failure delivering result
  ResultInfo{who=null, request=2, result=-1, data=Intent { }} to
  activity {###}: java.lang.NullPointerException
  or
  java.lang.IllegalStateException: Do not perform IO operations on
  the UI thread. Use CordovaInterface.getThreadPool() instead.
  
  When the application doesn't force close, it will fail to
  capture the data.
