Some time ago I opened this issue to set android default quality to 50 on the java code (it was really 50 because it was already set on the javascript part, so the default java value won´t take effect) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11269
But Nikhil commented on the issue and I think what he said makes sense Should the default be 50? I believe the intent was that it will use lesser memory and hence, default of 50 is a good thing - but I did some profiling and setting the quality to anything but 100 on Android actually causes more memory consumption because the image has to be loaded as a bitmap and re-compressed. Setting appropriate target height & width along with FILE_URI is the correct way to reduce the memory requirements. I propose that the default be changed to 100. what do you think? I think setting the default value to 50 to reduce memory only makes sense in the case that the user uses DATA_URL, but we recommend not to use it
