Restrict uploaded image size Camera plugin cordova

Question

I have fetched the image using Camera plugin in my ionic app. I want to restrict the user on the size of the image which user is choosing, lets say 200kb. I have added Camera as File plugin.

I have used below code:

/*Function to get image from gallery*/
$scope.getImageFromGallery = function(){
    var options = {
        quality: 100,
        destinationType: Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
        sourceType: Camera.PictureSourceType.SAVEDPHOTOALBUM,
        popoverOptions: CameraPopoverOptions,
        saveToPhotoAlbum: false,
        targetWidth: 450,
        targetHeight: 450,
        encodingType: Camera.EncodingType.JPEG,
    };

    navigator.camera.getPicture(gallerySuccess, galleryError, options);

    function gallerySuccess(imageURI){
        getSize(imageURI);          
    }


    function getSize(fileUri) {
        window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(fileUri, function(fileEntry){

            fileEntry.getMetadata(function(metadata){
                console.log("size is "+metadata.size);
            }, resOnError);

            fileEntry.file(function(file) {

                var reader = new FileReader();
                reader.onloadend = function(evt) {

                    var imgData = evt.target.result;
                    var res = imgData.split(",");
                    $rootScope.imagebase64 = res[1];
                    var image = document.getElementById('preview-image1');
                    image.src = evt.target.result;
                    $('#preview-image').css('display','block');
                    $('#preview-image').css('background-image', "url("+res[1]+")").show();
                };

                reader.readAsDataURL(file);
            }, resOnError);
        },
        resOnError);
    }

    function resOnError(error) {
        console.log("error "+JSON.stringify(error));
    }

    function galleryError(error) {
    }
}

But here, when I'm choosing image of 2.5MB, it is showing size 178908 and when I'm choosing image of size 8.9MB, it is showing size 88412.

As per my knowledge, the file size is in bytes, but the values which I'm getting are not correct.

try this solution this is for 150kb for yours just change it to 200kb

  window.resolveLocalFileSystemURI(newPath, function (fileEntry) {
                        fileEntry.file(function (fileObj) {
                            if (fileObj.size <= 153600) {
                                var reader = new FileReader();
                                reader.onload = function () {
                                    var dataURL = reader.result;
                                    //your stuff.....
                                };
                                reader.readAsDataURL(fileObj);
                            }
                            else {
                                //  alert("Please upload image less then 150KB");
                                alertPopup = $ionicPopup.alert({
                                    title: 'Upload image failed!',
                                    template: 'Please upload image less then 150KB!'
                                });
                            }

                            console.log("Size = " + fileObj.size);
                        });
                    });
