I am making an application using Phonegap where users can select and share files. When the user selects it, even if it goes offline or closes the app, I should upload it back to the server, so I need to store reference file path.

1. User selects/captures video or image using Camera.
2. File may not contain extension to name in Android every time and in iOS when selected from Gallery.
3. So get mimeType and then copy the file to myApp's folder with a new name and extension.
4. Then again get mimeType and return.
