edgecamera

camera.getPicture(successCallback, errorCallback, options)

Takes a photo using the camera, or retrieves a photo from the device's image gallery. The image is passed to the success callback as a Base64-encoded String, or as the URI for the image file.

The camera.takePicture function opens the device's default camera application that allows users to snap pictures by default. Once the user snaps the photo, it is cropped and the camera application closes and the application is restored.

The return value is sent to the cameraSuccess callback function, in one of the following formats, depending on the specified cameraOptions:

• A String containing the Base64-encoded photo image.

You can do whatever you want with the encoded image or URI, for example:

• Render the image in an <img> tag, as in the example below

• Save the data locally (LocalStorage, Lawnchair, etc.)

• Post the data to a remote server

Supported Platforms
