Cordova FilePath returns Invalid column _data for image uri from contacts cordova plugin

[RishabAkalankan]

I'm trying to get the file path from an URI returned by the cordova contacts plugin using the resolveNativePath from filepath plugin.

contactsImageURI = contact.photo[0].value;
contactsImageURI = content://com.android.contacts/contacts/XXXX/photo;
this.filePath.resolveNativePath((contactsImageURI)).then(()=> {
console.log('success');
}).catch((error: any)) => {
console.log(error);
});
// output Invalid column _data

can anyone help me out

Hi @RishabAkalankan - is this still happening?

[manishb-socialcurry]

It is happening with me too. I just downloaded your plugin and used it and got the same error: "column '_data' does not exist". Btw, I googled and found that it is since Nougat that they have changed things and even those using Java API are facing this issue. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42508383/illegalargumentexception-column-data-does-not-exist

Could you please fix it?

Hi. I have the same issue with Telegram images:

content://org.telegram.messenger.provider/media/Telegram/Telegram%20Images/246936588_94670.jpg

=> "column '_data' does not exist"

Phone: Huawei P9
Version of plugin: 1.4.2

Does not work with files from Telegram and Whatsapp. Other Apps (Google Drive, Huawei Photo App) do work.

@ChrizC I have same problem as @RishabAkalankan. I take contact by cordova contacts plugin, get image url in format "content://com.android.contacts/contacts/:contactId/photo", try to convert, but always get as a result "Invalid column _data"
