How To Access Files on Android Device Using Ionic Framework

I was working through the Ionic tutorial for using the Cordova Camera API. http://learn.ionicframework.com/formulas/cordova-camera/

Far as I can tell everything is working correctly with the Camera API functions, but I cannot get my image to display back into the view.

I am able to return a file URI, but when I attempt to put it to the ng-src I get nothing in the view. I am assuming that the application/code cannot access the file location?

My config:

.config(function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $compileProvider) {

  $compileProvider.imgSrcSanitizationWhitelist(/^\s*(https?|ftp|file|blob|content):|data:image\//);
  ...

The function in my controller:

$scope.getPhoto = function() {
    Camera.getPicture().then(function(imageURI) {
      console.log(imageURI);
      $scope.cameraPic = imageURI;
    }, function(err) {
      $scope.cameraPic = "error";
      console.err(err);
    });
  };

My view:

<ion-view>
  <ion-content>
    <div class="form-group padding-top">
      <button class='button button-positive' data-ng-click="getPhoto()">
        Take Photo
      </button>
    </div>

    <div class="item item-image">
      <img ng-src="{{cameraPic}}"/>
    </div>
    {{cameraPic}}
  </ion-content>
</ion-view>

This appears to be the recommended method by the tutorial, and is also repeated on this thread. It sounds like it should work without using a Cordova file service implementation. I have found one such implementation which I guess I could use, but am I missing something here?

EDIT

Using chrome://inspect/#devices, I was able to look into the Webview/Console. I also rebuilt the project, just to see if that would help.

Definitely looking like a local file access issue.
