Camera freezes after phone sleeps and doesn't wake up ... about cordova-plugin-camera-preview HOT 6 CLOSED

I solved the problem, listening to the events "pause" and resume".

document.addEventListener("pause", function () {
    if (Camera.isActive) Camera.stop();
}, false);
document.addEventListener("resume", function (e) {
    if (Camera.isActive) Camera.start();
}, false);

, where

var Camera = {
    start: function () {
        var tapEnabled = true;
        var dragEnabled = true;
        var toBack = true;
        this.isActive = true;
        return cordova.plugins.camerapreview.startCamera({
            x: 0,
            y: 0,
            width: window.innerWidth,
            height: window.innerHeight
        }, "back", tapEnabled, dragEnabled, toBack);
}, ....

Can anyone confirm if this is still ocuring with the master version of this plugin.

I have almost the same problem. When application goes into the background then goes back, it crashes. There are 2 exceptions in the log
when it goes into the background:

com.cordovaplugincamerapreview.Preview.surfaceDestroyed(Preview.java:230)

and when it goes back and crashes:

com.cordovaplugincamerapreview.Preview.surfaceCreated(Preview.java:219)

The error is: Camera is being used after Camera.release() was called

The app is running under Android 5.1.1

Tested with latest master branch.
This issue is fixed.
