Cordova camera plugin: nullpointer exception

Question

We are using cordova-plugin-camera (version 2.2) in our Hybrid app. Our App crashes every now and then and this is due to a NullPointerException when Camera is invoked. We have tested on Android 4.4.4 and multiple difference devices running this OS and the result is the same. This error seems to have been reported at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9477 and claims this has been fixed in Cordova v2.2 but we are facing the same error.

Here is our camera launch code:

navigator.camera.getPicture(function(uri) {
        console.log(uri);
        document.getElementById("loadImage").src = uri;
    }, function(error) {
        console.log(error);
    }, { 
        quality : 100,
        destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
        sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,
        encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
    });

Anybody else facing same/similar error and any known solutions?
